There’s a lot to love about Nargis Fakhri, finds Nikita Sawant. For one thing, this Bollywood actor does not mince words.

In one of her interviews, Nargis Fakhri had this to say when asked what’s her biggest fear: “My biggest fear is that I’ll get stuck in the movie business for the rest of my life.” Though she said it with a laugh, you realise that all this American model and actor wants is a life beyond the movie business. But since she caught the industry’s attention with her Bollywood debut, Imtiaz Ali’s 2011 film Rockstar opposite Ranbir Kapoor, Fakhri has found it hard to get away. Despite the lack of formal training in acting, she has learned on the job just how to work the camera. She’s all sex goddess on the outside and charming goofball in person. It’s a winning combination and one that keeps those film offers coming.

"UGH, I HATE HOW I LOOK!"
If the title to this feature is a sentence that goes off in your head every time you stand in front of the mirror, you need to keep reading. No, this is not your run-of-the-mill self-love spiel that will magically change your self-image by the end. It won't. And it definitely won't silence the voices that have told you to fix, hide, and erase parts of you deemed “too much” or “not enough”. What it will do is offer something rare: a reason, however small, to stop waging war with your reflection, and feel a little better about coming home to the person who's been there all along. You.
