Nora Fatehi reveals people often ask her if she 'wanted to be the next Katrina Kaif'

Nora Fatehi has talked about her early days in Mumbai and revealed that people often ask her if she "wanted to be the next Katrina Kaif".

In her interview with BBC Asian, the actor-dancer said that she often locks herself in her room and works on her accent.

She stated: “Whatever opportunities I have got have been very last minute and thankfully I was prepared. I remember staying locked up in my room and watching stuff on TV, working on my Hindi.”

“I wouldn’t party or make boyfriends like the other girls. I realised in my second month in India I needed to tone down her Canadian accent, tone down my body language and work on my Hindi,” the Street Dancer 3D actress said.

She continued: “I missed out on my brother’s wedding, his birthday, everything. So many people were like, ‘Do you want to be like the next Katrina Kaif'?"

“I knew I had to be prepared for whatever opportunity that came my way. Most of the projects I got, was very last minute,” she added.

Nora Fatehi concluded: “I would work on my Hindi and such so that I was completely prepared for any opportunity coming my way. I knew I could only get one opportunity and if that did not work, I'd be (out of the game).”
