Riteish Deshmukh answers break-up questions on behalf of Nargis Fakhri

While Nargis Fakhri is back in India after her suspicious and abrupt exit form Bollywood ahead of the release of ‘Housefull 3’, the paparazzi could not stop asking the diva the reason behind the same. Nargis came to Mumbai for the trailer launch of her then next flick with Riteish Deshmukh, ‘Banjo’, and faced a flurry of questions regarding her alleged breakup with Uday Chopra. But Nargis found a much-needed saviour in co-star Riteish who came forward to silence them all. When a reporter asked her about Uday Chopra, Riteish came forward and said, “I am her spokesperson. Next question please.” Not only this, when another media person enquired her about why she was hiding her face upon her arrival at the airport, she said, “I usually travel like that. I was wearing the hoody.” Again coming to her rescue, Riteish added, “She used to come to the set like that. Nothing unusual in that.” Now doesn't Riteish perfectly personify the popular saying, 'a friend in need is a friend indeed'?

Nargis Fakhri shuts detractors, says she isn't quitting Bollywood

This should put to an end to all the baseless rumours and endless speculations surrounding Nargis Fakhri. The actress has been a topic of discussions and made headlines for the wrong reasons ever since the news about her alleged break-up with actor Uday Chopra started doing the rounds. A few web portals then had reported that Nargis had quit Bollywood forever and has settled in the US, with no plans to return to acting. This could have passed off as a good April Fool's joke but sadly, this is July. Anyways, Nargis is not going anywhere and here's the proof. Silencing her detractors, Nargis shared a poster of her film 'Banjo' co-starring Riteish Deshmukh and this is what she wrote, “Looking forward to finishing my assignment in the US and being back to start promoting #Banjo in the next few weeks. #noplanstoquit #hatersgonnahate #allthesearebaselessrumours” Now that's a befitting reply and the best way to silence the haters. We hope rumour mills will now stop working overtime as far as Nargis is concerned. Welcome back girl!

Nargis Fakhri takes hold of life post split?

Nargis Fakhri seems to be taking hold of her life ever since she left India, post her alleged split with ‘Dhoom’ actor Uday Chopra. The diva, who was missing at the ‘Housefull 3’ promotions, is slowly returning to the spotlight. The latest Facebook post by the ‘Rockstar’ hottie was every bit inspiring and soothing. Nargis wrote on her wall, "Life is too short to be anything but happy. Love deeply, forgive quickly, take chances, give everything with no regrets. Forget the past with the exception of what you have learned and remember everything happens for a reason."

Nargis Fakhri lonely after infamous breakup with Uday Chopra?

The latest breakup in tinsel town that yet again jolted the spirits of young fans was of quintessential foreign beauty Nargis Fakhri and her long time beau Uday Chopra. Although the two tried to maintain a safe distance from the prying eyes of the media, the news of their brewing romance eventually made its way to public’s eye leading their spicy stories to the gossip columns from time to time. However, the much talked-about breakup of Uday Chopra and Nargis Fakhri has resurfaced with this latest development on Nargis’ official Twitter account. The petite actress has quipped something through her social media handle that may raise a lot of eyebrows. “Your mental health affects ur physical health. Make sure 2have a support system. Loneliness sucks the life out of u,” she tweeted that has got us wondering if all’s well with the lady who is currently in the US where she reportedly flew to, to recuperate from her alleged breakup with Uday, leaving promotions of 'Housefull 3' in a lurch. While Uday came out clear about his breakup saying, “Nargis and I are still close friends” in a statement released before, Nargis on the other side flew to the United States and remained mum ever since. Her social media posts, however, tell a different story. From emotional quotations to thought provoking one-liners, one can tell that something is troubling the actress.

When Nargis Fakhri's lips were always stuck to Emraan’s

The gorgeous Nargis Fakhri has some very interesting stories to share from the sets of ‘Azhar’. In an interview, the diva revealed that while shooting the song ‘Bol Do Na Zara’ , she could barely speak as she was just kissing Emraan Hashmi repeatedly during the shoot of the song. She says that her lips were always stuck to Emraan's and she even suspected of someone playing a prank on her. There were so many retakes that she claimed that she would charge extra for all those kisses! Nargis, who is portraying the role of Azharuddin’s second wife Sangeeta Bijlani in the movie, added that she came to know of Emraan’s ‘serial kisser’ tag after signing the film.
Interestingly, Fakhri said that as the real Azhar and Sangeeta were much in love at that time, there must have been that of a lot of love and lust between them.

Nargis Fakhri's take on cosmetic surgery

While other actresses take pride in talking about aging gracefully, Nargis is quite comfortable with the option of going under the knife. In an interview with Filmfare, she said, “Everyone pans augmentation. I will get one if I feel like it. Cosmetic surgery is made for people who suffer trauma. For those who don’t feel as perky as in their 20s. If you can use an extra lift, then why suffer? Men age well, women don’t hold up well after babies. The body goes through changes. And if it wasn’t for science, these women would be pushed aside and not be considered beautiful anymore. Why should a woman be denied a life of excitement just because she is 60, older, wiser and her periods have stopped?”

Calls a spade, a spade

Talking about the way media made news out of her relationships, in an interview to Filmfare, she said that she had once read an article that stated that the Rockstar actress enjoyed Indian hospitality. Nargis was blunt enough to point out that she knew that the article actually meant to say that she was a whore. In the interview to Filmfare, she was also quoted as saying that, "If I had really big boobs, people would talk about my boobs. I guess they haven’t seen my butt. It’s really big too. But it was well hidden in those Patiala salwars that I wore in Rockstar. If they saw my bum, which is bigger than my lips, they’d only be talking about that. Because I was covered throughout the film, they couldn’t pick on anything else. So I don't really care about all this. Thank God they didn’t say anything about my nose! I actually have a complex about my nose."
