In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, Nora Fatehi shares the real stories behind her 5-year-long struggle in the glamour world of Bollywood and how she battled through roommates bullying, cheating agencies, casting agents and much more. Nora said, “Life for foreigners in India is very difficult. We go through a lot and people don’t even know. They take our money. It’s happened to me. I remember my first agency who got me here from Canada. They were really aggressive in terms of behavior and I didn’t feel like I was guided the right way. So I wanted to leave them and in order to do that, they told me ‘ we are not going to give you your money’ And I lost 20 lakhs at that time, which I had made from my ad campaigns. But I thought sacrificing it would be for a bigger picture.”

I wasn’t really mentally prepared and I made a fool of myself. People were really unforgiving. They wouldn’t just be mean, they would laugh in front of my face as if I’m some circus. They would bully me. It was humiliating. I used to cry while traveling back to my home. There was this one casting agent who once told me, ‘We don’t need you here. Go back’. I’ll never forget that.”

She went on to finally conclude by saying,“I had to share an apartment with 8 girls. My roommates stole my passport, I had to leave India and go back to Canada for a while.
