Nargis Fakhri (born 20 October 1979) is an American model and actress who works mainly in Hindi films or Bollywood.[1] She has appeared on America's Next Top Model and made her acting debut with the 2011 film Rockstar. She gained further success for her roles in Madras Cafe (2013) and Main Tera Hero (2014).
Early life
Fakhri was born on 20 October 1979 in Queens, New York[2] to a Pakistani father Mohammed Fakhri and a Czech mother Marie Fakhri.[3][4] Her parents divorced when she was six or seven years old.[5]
Career
Fakhri appeared on America's Next Top Model Cycles 2 and 3 in 2004.[6] She posed for the 2009 Kingfisher Swimsuit Calendar.[6]
In 2011, Fakhri made her Bollywood film debut playing the female lead in Imtiaz Ali's musical romantic drama Rockstar. Film critic Taran Adarsh wrote, "Nargis is a stunner as far as looks are concerned, but isn't persuasive in poignant moments", however, he praised her on-screen chemistry with co-star Ranbir Kapoor. [7]
She starred opposite John Abraham in Shoojit Sircar's political thriller Madras Cafe (2013). Film critic Saibal Chatterjee said Fakhri "strikes the right notes",[8] whereas Rajeev Masand called her "pleasantly competent".[9] Later that year, she made a special appearance in the action comedy Phata Poster Nikhla Hero to perform the item number "Dhating Naach" with the film's lead actor Shahid Kapoor. Taran Adarsh commented saying Fakhri "sizzles in the dance number, matching steps with Shahid".[10]
in 2014, Fakhri was seen alongside Varun Dhawan and Ileana D'Cruz in David Dhawan's comedy Main Tera Hero. The film was a financial success, but received mixed reviews from critics.[11] For her performance in the film, Rohit Khilnani said that Fakhri "is not bad" and that "she fits well in this masala comedy and doesn't disappoint".[12] Taran Adarsh however disagreed, and said though she "looks great", she needs to "polish her acting skills".[13] The same year, Fakhri performed with Salman Khan in the item number "Yaar Na Miley" which featured in the film Kick. In a review, The Times Of India stated that she "makes the proceedings hotter with her dance moves".[14] Fakhri has also completed work on Paul Feig's action comedy Spy, which will feature Melissa McCarthy, Rose Byrne and Jude Law.[15]
