During her interaction with Hindustan Times, Nora Fatehi spoke about her professional plans, as she’s been working towards establishing her career overseas as well. She said, "I have no personal life. If you think I’m going to leave my spot for someone else, you are funny. I will be here, there, and everywhere. I will continue to do films and my music.”
Turning producer, songwriter and singer for her latest collaboration, Snake, with American singer Jason Derulo, the 32-year-old said, “I have three worlds within me—Canadian as I was born there, Morocco is my ethnicity, and India has made me who I am today. I am trying to find a way to bring all these three worlds together and put it in my artistry and music.”

When asked about what it was like working with Derulo on their new single, she said, “I had not met or spoken to him at all. I am too shy to reach out to anyone because I don’t want to bother them and I don’t like hearing no.”
She continued, “I recorded the song on my own and the only time I spoke to him was on FaceTime when he called to ask me for a Hindi word for ‘baby’, which he sang as jaanu in the song. But I was so nervous and stressed the entire time.”
Recently, the actor-dancer had to evacuate her Los Angeles home in the US due to the raging wildfires that have burned down several celebrities' homes.
Fatehi took to Instagram to share that she and her team had got out safely. She wrote: “I am in LA and the wildfires are crazy. I have never seen anything like that. This is insane, we just got an evacuation order five minutes ago.”
“So I quickly packed all my stuff and I am evacuating out of here. I am gonna go near the airport and chill there because I have a flight today and I really hope I can catch it," the caption continued.

Her music videos are getting just as much fanfare. Faethi’s self-titled track Nora has been streamed on YouTube, with more than 19 million views in the seven months since its release.
She once revealed her plans about breaking the narrow mindedness in India. Nora, in an interview with The Times Of India, said, “I'm here to break the narrowminded thinking.” Nora further explained, “I've solidified my brand as Nora Fatehi – someone who is multidimensional, multifaceted, doing more than one thing, and is an entertainer."
She continued, "You're going to see me doing films, the songs, and you're going to see me working on my international career as a global music star. You're going to see me doing the biggest stage performances in the biggest arenas and stadiums. This is who I'm going to be. It's a breath of fresh air to see that these kinds of artists can exist in Bollywood. They exist in Hollywood. So why can't they exist in Bollywood?"
Well, she doesn't seem to be stepping back from her words, and so, here we are all set to witness and enjoy her international collaborations. We wish her all the best!
