Nora Fatehi Talks About The Success Of Dilbar, Sharing Screen With John Abraham And Being A Self Trained Belly Dancer

Not that this is the first time we are watching Nora Fatehi groove to a song, but this time she has truly hit the ball out of the park. She stars in a special song for John Abraham’s Satyameva Jayate. The song titled, Dilbar, is a remake of the hit ’90s number which featured Sushmita Sen. This time there is an Arabic twist to the song and Nora can be seen belly dancing. The song has garnered 63 million views – at the time of writing this story – and with that Nora has stolen millions of hearts. In an exclusive chat with BollywoodLife, Nora opened up about the response to the song, working with John again, and her future projects.

First things first! Have you gotten a reaction from Sushmita Sen about the song? If not do you look forward to getting one?

I have not received a reaction from Sushmita ma’am yet! But I am definitely looking forward. I really like her and always admired her work and I fell in love with her when I first watched the original Dilbar!

Dilbar has turned out to be one of the biggest hits of the year. How is the view from cloud nine?
