After captivating us with her sensational dance moves, Nora Fatehi is now leaving an impression with her acting chops in the action thriller Batla House and the music video Pachtaoge.
Nora Fatehi is earning accolades for her recent acting performances. The actress strongly believes that one needs to even respect and celebrate dancers. There is a lot that goes into doing dance performances too.
Making a strong point about why one should give the dancers their dues, Nora passionately said:
“Currently, I am shooting for Street Dancer with professional dancers. Dancers, who have sacrificed so many things in life to become professional dancers and one day I just had an epiphany that why don’t we celebrate dancers the way we celebrate actors? Do you know what dancers go through?
The way they push themselves to do certain moves which are almost humanely impossible. We had these ballerinas on the sets, who were doing ballerina dance style, while simultaneously doing hip-hop style dance with their upper torso – I was amazed.”
Further driving the point home, Nora said:
“It must have taken them years to balance like that, half of us can’t balance while we are walking. Dancing is not easy, and there is a lot of blood, sweat, tears, sacrifices that one has to put in to become a dancer. When an actor does a good scene in the movie, everyone goes crazy – ‘OMG he is such an amazing actor.’
Yes, we should respect actors, I am guilty of that too, but what about the dancers? They should be equally respected and valued. Dancers can take you to another world without even speaking and I feel it’s a shame that it’s not even celebrated like that. It’s time to celebrate them.”
All art forms deserve equal respect and admiration and we are absolute with Nora on this.
