Nargis Fakhri refuses to dance on a television show

Actress Nargis Fakhri was recently on the sets of a popular television dance show to promote her upcoming release ‘Azhar’. Like it always happens, she was requested to shake a leg with her co-stars with a soundtrack from the film. However, she turned it down. Not only that, she also denied to remark a contestant’s performance!

It happened on the sets of ‘So You Think You Can Dance’, hosted by Madhuri Dixit.

“She not only refused to shake a leg with Emraan and Prachi but even refused to comment on a performance by a contestant who had danced on her ‘Kick’ song ‘Yaar Naa Miley’.

“She was arrogant, throwing her weight around, rude to the crew and the team had a harrowing time,” a source from the set was quoted by Mumbai Mirror.

However, Nargis’ spokesperson told the publication that it all happened because her health was not at its best. In fact, Nargis has been unwell since her shooting days for ‘Azhar’ only.

“She ensured she completed everything she had committed to including her appearance on ‘So You Think You Can Dance’. But due to a terrible hamstring and knee injury, she had informed the producers well in advance that she wouldn’t be able to perform on the show, so it could be avoided in the show flow. But at the last minute she was requested to perform which she had to politely decline as her health didn’t permit it. She’s always been spontaneous with her co-stars and team as stated by them on numerous occasions. So there is no reason for her to be anything else now,” she said.

Directed by Tony D’souza, ‘Azhar’ hits the screens tomorrow, on May 13.
