Six months after her debut Bollywood film, Rockstar (2011), Nargis Fakhri has finally signed her next film, Khiladi 786, with Akshay Kumar, produced by his banner Grazing Goat Pictures.
As a part of her contract, Nargis will do three films with the banner — this one being the primary. “Khiladi 786 is a comedy, and it’s a genre I’ve really been really waiting to experiment with. I’m very excited because it’s
completely different from the role I played in Rockstar. I’m doing two more films with them, but I’m not allowed to discuss those yet,” says the actor.
Nargis, who moved to Mumbai from The big apple many years ago, has persisted with the diction and dance lessons she took up when she was preparing for Rockstar. The actor says, “It’s only been a little while since I’ve been in India, but a large number of things have improved. I’m on my way, and so long as I’m diligent, I DO KNOW I WILL BE ABLE TO recover. It’s a distinct more or less challenge and I’m attending to learn something new.”
Between films, she’s kept herself busy with script
readings, brand endorsements and events — the newest being the launch of the Gaja Store at Nariman Point.
Ask Nargis about her constant link-ups and she or he gives a practised answer: “It doesn’t bother me anymore. Gossip is part of my profession. I ACTUALLY find it weird, but I understand where it's coming from. It’s the paparazzi culture everywhere in the world.”
And how does she handle it? She says, “Everything I’ve been reading about myself crosses the road. It’s ridiculous, boring and untrue. I’ve decided that I should just smile and wave at everyone in preference to denying rumours.”
Nargis Fakhri’s imaginary affairs
Ranbir Kapoor: Ever since they were both signed for Rockstar, Ranbir and Nargis were rumoured to be dating. They were often spotted together and insisted that although they were getting along well, they weren’t a pair. The excitement fizzled out after the film’s release.
Shahid Kapoor: When Nargis flew to Goa to wait Shahid Kapoor’s lavish birthday bash, many tongues wagged. Both actors went everywhere town denying the rumours. Now, Shahid is being associated with Australian model Kristina Akheeva.
