Actor Nora Fatehi says there was a time when she lost sight of her ambition after her break-up, and it took quite some time to shake that feeling off.
Nora, who reportedly had an ugly break-up with actor Angad Bedi, expressed her views when she appeared on an episode of the show By Invite Only on Zoom.
“I don't want people to think that when you are low and dabble with depression that you are not strong. You are still strong! I lost that drive (for) 2 months,” said Nora when asked about her experience after the break-up.
She remembers how weak she felt after the breakup,
When I was called to audition for ‘Bharat’ which was way before “Dilbar” happened... I remember after my audition, I came down I was sitting on the bench, crying and felt shitty that where is my drive and my ambition? Then this one girl comes up to me and says, “Ma’am can you please record this audition for me”, I was crying, and I took her phone and she stands against the wall and I start recording.Nora Fatehi, Actor
She added, “As I was recording I don't think anyone can imagine what I was actually seeing. I am like that is me! For three years, I did auditions back to back, I waited in line for hours, I auditioned among 200/300 people, I went crazy at home, staying up all night learning lines and scenes. I thought to myself, that girl is me! I was like, 'Nora wake up! Where is your hunger? There are hundreds and thousands of people who are talented just like you, who are good looking, who are killing themselves to make that happen, you need to get back', and suddenly, I got my confidence back and that was it.”
She was asked on the show what she would do if she woke up as Angad Bedi and she said, “I would scream.”
To the question of 'Kill, Marry, Hook up' with options -- Vicky Kaushal, Angad Bedi, Siddharth Malhotra, she said, “Kill Angad, hook up (with) Vicky, marry Sidharth Malhotra.” Nora has featured in the videos of “Dilbar” and “Kamariya”. She will be seen in Salman Khan-starrer Bharat and Street Dancer 3D.”
