TIL Desk Bollywood/ Nargis Fakhri had no qualms about taking a break from films but she says there were people around her who tried to drill the notion into her head that the audience will forget her in her absence. The model-turned-actor made her debut in 2011 with Rockstar. Her last outing was 2018’s 5 Weddings with Rajkummar Rao.
Since then, she reduced her on-screen appearances as well. “When I said I’m going to take a break for six months, there were people who freaked out. I was told I’ll lose everything, people will get ahead of me. They’ll forget about me. They put all those things in my head. But I said I don’t believe that,” Nargis told The actor has come out of her short hiatus with her new film, Amavas, and realised that nothing had changed.
“You leave something to follow your dreams and when you come back, everybody is doing the same thing. It’s no different. So you can blend in easily. There’s never a problem,” she adds. Before she took a break, Nargis featured in films like Madras Cafe, Main Tera Hero, Housefull 3 and Marathi feature Banjo, but says staying away from the spotlight was not difficult.
