Nargis Fakhri, who starred in the movies ‘Main Tera Hero’ and ‘Rockstar’, has spoken up about her romance with actor Uday Chopra. She also revealed that she had been avoiding the film industry due to health issues, and that when she was ready to return, the Covid pandemic occurred.
About her former relationship with Uday, Nargis told ETimes, “Uday and I dated for 5 years and he was the most beautiful human I met in India. I never have said this to the press as people told me to keep my relationship quiet, but I regret that because I should have shouted from the mountain tops that I was with such a beautiful soul. The internet and social media is very fake and the people out there won’t know what the truth is. Most often we idolise certain people who are actually bad behind closed doors.”
She also talked about how difficult it was for her in the industry. She said, There are so many stories. It was extremely difficult and I faced many obstacles. Thank goodness for my agency who helped me navigate things. Besides intense workshops in Hindi and dance classes and tons of shoots and meetings, there were also times I encountered humans that behave in unprofessional ways. That made it difficult to feel safe at times. It was hard to fit in and I actually don’t think I ever did “fit” in. It was overwhelming, I had to work harder than most because I did not come from a background in film and I came from an entirely different culture. But with all that said I am grateful that I got to experience many amazing things and meet amazing people while in the industry.

For the unversed, Nargis was once in a relationship with Justin Santos, however, the two are no longer together. Nargis also revealed that she maintains in touch with Varun Dhawan, Ileana D’Cruz, and Huma Qureshi from the Hindi film industry.
