During their recent chat show appearance, driven by Akshay Kumar’s teasing about her habit of being ‘particular about money’, Nora Fatehi did not hesitate to clarify the situation to the best of her abilities. To be smooth, Nora, a sash, stretched out her hands in the air with a wicked smile and said in a self-assured tone, “Well, no man is paying my rent, so I need to be careful with my money”.
One witty remark of hers made a splash of laughter in every corner of the studio. And most of us knew without any doubt that it was also laden with a bold feminist tone: “Nora copes with the gender-wage gap puzzle very well.” This assertion poignantly reflects the fact that the entertainment field is still struggling with inequalities in remuneration. Thus, her self-reliance is especially hard-won and well-deserved.
At 31, the multi-talented entertainer has indisputably made her mark in Hollywood. Indeed, she did this as she danced her way up the ladder from a backup dancer to a sought-after actress and singer. Her two hit songs, “Dilbar” and “O Saki Saki”, have paved the way for her extraordinary talents, providing her with a platform where her performances, be it on stage or the silver screen, have been described as thunderous and out of this world.
Not only was she witty in her reply to Akshay’s comment, but also, in a way, she declared being independent and having power. In a market where women are frequently stricken in the way they appear, Nora‚Äôs unrepentant manner must have rung a bell on many occasions, and it served in the form of a reminder that financial independence is an earned independence for nowadays women.
As laughter died out, it could not be denied that Nora looked stunning. Indeed, she seemed to bask in the glory of being the talk of the town. Her sharp tongue, which is not found in anyone around, and her self-confidence proved that she’s not only a talented woman but a strong one who’s not falling for anyone or any manipulation.
