Nargis Fakhri the lady who makes her rocking debut opposite Ranbir Kapoor in Rockstar! With the film heading for a grand gala release soon. Have a look of her glam...
In the very start of the interview, she rattles off saying, "Not all foreigners are talentless...Not all of us use our beauty to enter Bollywood." Born in Queens, New York to a Czech mother and Pakistani father, this 5ft 9in beauty entered modelling by chance! And her being casted in her debut film happened this way. On her own admission, Nargis says, "I have never been a movie buff. I was living in Denmark, when I got an email from Imtiaz Ali, telling me that he liked the way I looked and wanted me for his film. I wasn't very keen to meet him, but because the appointment with Imtiaz was fixed in Prague, my mother's birthplace, I thought 'why not?'" And the rest they say... is history ... sorry, in this case, it's 'her story'! Signing the film was easy for this PYT...as was learning a new language. Says she, "I can speak German, Spanish and even a bit of Greek... It took me just three months to pick up Hindi. I guess I'm a fast learner when it comes to languages." The bigger challenge was acting in front of so many people on a set. "I had no acting experience or formal training, so it was really tough." Fortunately for her, Imtiaz took it upon himself to mentor her. "I was lucky he took me under his wing," says Nargis.
