In a recent appearance on ‘The Ranveer Show’, Nora Fatehi candidly shared her experiences of being bullied by male superstars in the Indian film industry. Additionally, she delved into the topic of Bollywood marriages, suggesting that many couples tie the knot for the sake of fame and fortune.
Nora Fatehi, who has been a part of the entertainment scene for nearly a decade, discussed various aspects of her journey, including her encounters with negativity in the industry.
During her conversation with host Ranveer Allahbadia, she shed light on instances where prominent figures in Bollywood displayed disrespectful behavior towards her.
Detailing her encounters, Nora revealed instances of uncomfortable interactions and disrespectful attitudes from certain male counterparts.
She described how some individuals in the industry exhibit unwelcoming body language, make derogatory remarks, and engage in taunting behavior, which she perceives as borderline bullying. Reflecting on her direct approach and assertiveness, she expressed how some individuals may find her demeanor intimidating. She said,
I’ve met other stars who have not been like that who have been very disrespectful very mean just like kind of like borderline bullies. Their body language won’t be very welcoming, their facial expressions, their taunting, their jokes, they’ll say things behind your back. I’m intimidating at the end of the day some people don’t get it they don’t understand how come her why not our girls? So much of that happens, and they get so angry, and also, a lot of them don’t like my directness.”
Moreover, Nora Fatehi expressed her observations regarding Bollywood marriages, suggesting that many couples enter into matrimony for opportunistic reasons rather than genuine affection.
She emphasized the calculated nature of such unions, where individuals strategically align themselves with partners who can enhance their public image and career prospects. She criticized this trend as predatory, highlighting how some individuals prioritize fame and social standing over personal happiness and fulfillment.
I see it in my industry people get married for clout. People use these wives or husbands for networking and for circles, for money, for relevance even. They think, ‘I have to marry that person so I can stay relevant for the three years because she has a few films releasing and they were doing well at the box office, so I have got to ride that wave’. People are that calculative. Those are predators, too.”
In her candid remarks, Nora underscored the detrimental impact of prioritizing fame and wealth over genuine relationships and personal well-being. She lamented the prevalence of individuals sacrificing their happiness and mental health for the sake of professional success and societal validation. Drawing a distinction between professional ambitions and personal fulfillment, she emphasized the importance of maintaining a healthy balance between one’s career and personal life.
These guys and girls will destroy their whole life for money, fame and power. Nothing is worse than getting married to someone that you don’t even love and then living with them for years, most of the people in our industry are here doing that nonsense. Just because they want to be in the right camp and circles. They want to be relevant because they don’t know where their career is going to go. So, they need some backup plan. I don’t understand sacrificing your personal life, mental health and happiness because work is work, home life and personal life is something else. You can’t mix them both because then you will never be happy.”
