Nargis Fakhri was clueless after debut “Rockstar”
Nargis Fakhri’s acting career has got a fresh lease of life with Madras Cafe. In this interview, the US-born actress talks about the culture shock of working in her debut Bollywood film Rockstar and the disappointment that followed.
American actress Nargis Fakhri, who appears in Shoojit Sircar’s Madras Cafe, says she was “clueless” after her Bollywood debut “Rockstar” in 2011.
Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali, actor Ranbir Kapoor and the rest of the Rockstar team had taken Nargis under their wings. But after the release, when she and performance were rejected, Nargis found herself isolated and disoriented in a city and she knew nothing about profession. Therefore, she feels very confused.
“I was clueless,” she said.
“It was a disappointing time for me. I couldn’t share it with my mother. Because she would’ve just ordered me home. But there was no dearth of work. I was getting these endorsements, shooting magazine covers. But very frankly, ‘Rockstar’ was too vast an experience and culturally too distanced from where I come from, for me to handle,” said Nargis Fakhri, who is 34 years old this year.
“I didn’t understand the culture or the milieu. Just imagine – if tomorrow you’re offered the main lead in a big Chinese film where they tell you, you are the ideal choice. That’s exactly how I felt when I was did ‘Rockstar’,” she added.
However, the deglamourised character of a war correspondent in the recently released John Abraham-starrer “Madras Cafe” fitted Nargis’ personality, she believes.
“I play a journalist. And I was required to speak only in English. My Hindi is still rusty. But at least now I understand Hindi, so when John Abraham speaks to me I am not lost.
“And I got to speak in my voice in ‘Madras Cafe’. So it’s one consistent performance visually and vocally. Speaking in someone else’s voice in ‘Rockstar’ was very confusing for my performance. I should’ve insisted on using my own voice. I guess I am not the kind of who girl who throws a tantrum to get her away,” she said.
The point that Nargis enjoyed most in “Madras Cafe” is her performance’s austere minimalist approach.
“The girl I play is a no-nonsense professional. I didn’t have to wear heavy makeup and false eyelashes. I was required to behave as naturally as possible,” she added.
The movie, based on the Sri Lankan civil war, released Aug 23.

Kareena Kapoor confirms her life is the same with before after marriage
Kareena Kapoor confirms her life is the same with before after marriage
Actress Kareena Kapoor confirms that her marriage with actor Saif Ali Khan is the same with before and she hopes the Nawab of Pataudi also remains the same.
Saif and Kareena, After five years courtship, got married in court on October 16, 2012.
“Saif and I were in love and we decided to get married. For us everything is same. Things are going great (in married life). It is just the same even while I was dating Saif… Things are going amazing. Saif is same as before, hopefully he will never change,” said Kareena.
“For media and people, it (marriage) seems like a big thing. But in real life it is not like that. There have never been any restrictions. We are surprised when people ask what is the difference after marriage, we fail to understand this as there is no difference. He is in America and we were talking about this thing… it seems surprising,” she said.
Even though Kareena says things are the same after marriage, there is usually an extra responsibility after marriage but for her, singlehood and marriage is more or less the same.
“Since childhood I was a responsible girl. There was responsibility of the family… First of my mother, then my sister Karisma and now Saif’s responsibility. But he (Saif) is pretty much on his own, he is a responsible person, he’s quite mature,” the 32-year-old actress said.
Kareena Kapoor believes that she is able to balance her work and love.
“Both (love and work) are equal for me. I have been balancing things. I am an actress who has been open about my relationships. There is nothing wrong in falling in love.
“I don’t know why people associate love with your career? I don’t understand why people ask this? Because love is like the way you breathe air… You love your mother but still you work. I love my mother, family and I still work,” she added.
