In the film industry, luck often plays a key role, but only hard work ensures survival. While many dream of becoming stars, few achieve lasting success. Amid this competitive landscape, a stunningly beautiful foreign actress with a passion for cinema is making waves in the Indian film industry.
Born and raised in Canada, this talented actress arrived in India with just Rs 5,000. After years of struggle and taking on small roles, she is now earning top fees for a five-minute song.
Nora Fatehi, who danced to the song “Manohari” in Baahubali, faced many difficulties after arriving in India. In the early days, she didn’t even have money to eat. But now she is earning a lot of money. She has worked with stars like Salman Khan and Varun Dhawan. Even a five-minute appearance in films earns her millions.
Nora Fatehi was born on February 6, 1992, in Montreal, Canada. Her parents are Muslims of Moroccan descent, but her father is from India. She had a passion for filmmaking since childhood, which is why she moved to India. Prior to this, she was known as a good dancer.
Nora Fatehi began her career with the Hindi film “Roar: Tigers of the Sundarbans.” Later, she created a sensation by dancing with Prabhas in songs like “Manohari” in “Baahubali: The Beginning,” “Ittke Rekkipodum” in “Temper,” “Kiruku Kick” in “Kick 2,” “Napere Pinky” in “Lion,” and “Nappe Touche” in “Loafer.”
Fatehi is an excellent dancer. She is also very hardworking, which is the reason for her success. In an interview, she revealed that she faced many difficulties upon coming to India.
She said, “When I came to India, I had only Rs 5,000. Nine of us lived in a 3-BHK flat. I shared a room with two other girls. At that time, I used to think, ‘Oh God, why did I come here?’ I still feel scared remembering those days.”
At that time, Nora Fatehi ate only one egg and roti a day. She explained that a large portion of her earnings was taken by agents who provided her opportunities, and she was paid a very low salary.
Finally, Nora starred in the film “Bharat” alongside big stars like Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan. The film grossed nearly Rs 300 crore. She also starred in “Street Dancer 3D” with Varun Dhawan, which was a hit.
Reports suggest that Nora Fatehi now charges Rs 1 crore for a film and Rs 2 crore for a song. She recently worked in the film “Madgaon Express.” It received positive reviews from audiences but was not a box office success. Nora Fatehi will soon be seen in the film “Dancing Dot.”
