Nora Fatehi is popular for her dance sequences in many Bollywood films. Well recently the Canadian actor- dancer recalled an anecdote about her early days in the industry. It was around the time when she bagged hit songs like Dilbar and Kamariya back-to-back. Nora recalled doing it for free as she felt the need to establish her career before demanding any money. When Nora Fatehi refused to wear tiny blouse in Dilbar song In an interview during the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne she revealed shooting for Dilbar and how she protested against wearing tiny outfit. She said I remember they had to make a new blouse because the blouse they brought was too tiny and I had to put my foot down. I said ‘Guys I cannot wear this. Don’t over-sexualise me. I get it it is a sexy song. We are all inherently sexy but we don’t need to get vulgar about it.’ Milap (Zaveri) makes fun of me for this in several parties. It was also Ramadan so I said ‘Guys chill. Can we please not do this?’ So they make fun of me. Nora further added that she didnt mind showing her stomach but wasnt comfortable in exposing too much cleavage. To a lot of people it looks over sexy but for me it was something I was comfortable wearing compared to what they were going to give me. Nora mentioned that how difficult it is to put your foot down especially when you are a new comer in the industry. She said It’s also so tough because when you work with filmmakers as a nobody and I was a nobody at that time they are like ‘Who the hell do you think you are? I have to explain to them with love and make them understand ‘Let’s not divert. The music is so good. The choreography is so good. Don’t ruin that because of a stupid blouse’. That’s what I told Milap and he said ‘Okay I get it.’. I said ‘Let them focus on my face and dance moves. Let them not focus on the breasts.’ When I spoke to him like that he was like ‘Okay I get it. Nora dont want to be dressed like Jahvi Kapoor Ananya Panday... Also Nora added that she dont want to be styled like Gen Z actors. “Today when I do have the power to talk. I do tell my stylists ‘This is too much.’ The way they dress Ananya (Panday) Sara (Ali Khan) or Janhvi (Kapoor) they cannot dress me the same way. My body is not the same. I have a lot of conflict where I do have to push this on stylists and directors because they will make certain clothes and be like ‘Well the others are wearing this.’ I am like ‘I get that but the others don’t look like me unfortunately when I wear it.’ So we have to think about that and with my body type because it’s not really familiar in Bollywood. Not a lot of girls have my body type. It’s tough for stylists and directors to understand where I am coming from but once I push and they get it they are like ‘Okay cool. the actress added.
