Nora Fatehi Recalls Living with Nine ‘Psychopaths’
On her initial days in Mumbai Nora had “traumatic” days, Nora said, “I came to India with only Rs 5,000 in my pocket. I didn’t even know what 1000 dollars was like,” Nora said on Mashable India’s The Bombay Journey recently and then added “I lived with nine psychopaths in a three BHK apartment where I shared the room with two other girls. During my stay there, I used to think, ‘What have I got myself into?’ I am still traumatised (sic).”
Nora talked about the days in Mumbai when she felt like she was underpaid for her work and was “exploited” in the name of money. The diva added, “The agency would deduct a lot of money and pay me meagre salaries. I survived on one egg and bread. It was a rough time. I needed therapy. The struggle was really bad. They would charge you a commission and deduct money for even breathing. Some of the agencies exploit you and there are no laws to protect you (sic).”
The 32-year-old actor in a 2019 interview with Zee News the diva claimed that she wouldn’t get paid enough. Nora recalled, “The agency, that I used to work with, would only give me Rs 3000 per week. And managing my day-to-day routine within the given amount was really difficult for me. But I managed it smartly so that I didn’t run out of money by the end of the week (sic).”
