Since her breakout role in Rockstar, Nargis Fakhri has made a name for herself in acting and fashion.
Speaking about her big break, she said:
“Rockstar itself was a pivotal film in my career as it allowed me to showcase my acting abilities in a high-profile project directed by Imtiaz Ali and alongside Ranbir Kapoor.
“The film received critical acclaim, and my performance was appreciated despite being my debut.
“It has been the most challenging role of my entire career. It challenged me to push my limits as an actor and set a benchmark for the kind of roles I could take on in the future.
“Looking back, some of the proudest moments and achievements in my career include my debut in Rockstar, which was a defining moment and opened many doors for me in the industry.”
Despite this, Bollywood was not something she had planned.
“My journey in the film industry has been a serendipitous adventure.
“It all started with a random email that I decided to respond to, which ultimately led to my first big break in Bollywood.
“Looking back, I can only describe it as kismat – destiny unfolding in a way that seemed meant to be.
“It happened unexpectedly, and each step along the way felt like a series of fortunate events and opportunities aligning perfectly.
“From that initial email to navigating auditions and eventually landing roles, I embraced each moment with gratitude and a willingness to learn and grow.
“While the path to success in the film industry can be unpredictable and demanding, I’ve cherished every aspect of this journey.
“It’s been a testament to the power of seizing opportunities and trusting in the journey that unfolds before you.”
Prior to acting, Nargis Fakhri explored the modelling world, saying:
“During my early modelling career, I gravitated towards classic and timeless pieces, focusing on wardrobe basics that could be styled effortlessly.
“As I transitioned into acting, collaborating with stylists allowed me to explore a wide range of styles and designs, embracing everything from red carpet glamour to casual chic.
“Nowadays, I find myself prioritising the materials and textures of my clothing more than following specific trends or styles.
“Comfort and quality have become key considerations in my wardrobe choices.”
“I appreciate natural fabrics like cotton, linen, and silk for their comfort and sustainability, while also enjoying the luxury and durability of well-crafted pieces.”
She described her style preference as “comfortable and pretty”.
“I believe in blending effortless chic with a touch of personal flair.
“I gravitate towards pieces that are both stylish and easy to wear, creating outfits that make me feel confident and at ease.
“Whether it’s a cosy sweater paired with well-fitted jeans or a flowy dress that moves with me, my style is a harmonious mix of comfort and beauty.
“I embrace simplicity with a hint of creativity, ensuring that every look reflects my authentic self without sacrificing comfort.”
When it comes to red carpet looks, Nargis Fakhri revealed her wardrobe-essentials.
“A classic black dress that fits well and can be dressed up or down for various occasions, a well-fitted blazer in a neutral colour (like black, navy, or grey) that can instantly elevate any outfit, from casual to formal, or a crisp white shirt that can be styled with jeans for a casual look or tucked into a skirt or trousers for a polished appearance.
“I even have a few statement accessories like a quality leather handbag, a versatile scarf, and classic jewellery pieces (like hoop earrings or a simple necklace).”
