Nora Fatehi voices dissent against ‘similar’ aesthetics set for women in films.
In a candid conversation, actress Nora Fatehi expressed concerns over an emerging trend of resembling aesthetics prescribed for female performers in Bollywood.
Observing most contemporary actresses sport identical looks, Nora said stylists wanted her to follow suit but she refused, knowing certain attires wouldn’t flatter her body type.
The actress pointed out she isn’t built like Ananya Panday, Sara Ali Khan, or Janhvi Kapoor whom stylists reference, necessitating insistence on bespoke styling befitting her physique.
Struggling to make directors and designers comprehend given their unfamiliarity with her frame, Nora thanked them for understanding and eventually an explanation.
Coming at a time when the industry is emphasized to highlight diversity, her statement assumes significance in disrupting the stereotypical molding of women’s appearances.
Having delivered a hit with ‘Madgaon Express’, Nora is primed for a Telugu debut opposite Varun Tej in the upcoming ‘Matka’.
Her bold remarks call for inclusion and setting realistic standards of beauty, while fostering the creativity of individual artists.
