Nargis Fakhri Wants To Help Oprah Winfrey someday
No doubts, Nargis Fakhri made a successful debut in Bollywood with Rockstar but we have to agree that it was Ranbir Kapoor’s stupendous performance that garnered all the attention in the film. Nargis too caught attention, but it was of critics, who showered flaks on her for zombie-like performance.
Needless to say, the film that worked wonders for the lead actor, did precious little for her career. The threefilm-deal that Nargis had reportedly signed with Akshay Kumar’s production house Hari Om Productions even before her first film released, seems to have been called off as well. In fact, the first film of the deal, Khiladi 786, has Asin as the leading lady, instead of Fakhri. And though a friend of the actress insists that Nargis has two film offers she can’t talk about right now, Mirror has learnt that the one-film-wonder already has a Plan B ready.
But is Fakhri is definitely not fretting. Though today the babe has precious li’l on her plate as far as B-town movies are concerned but looks like the pouty faced actor has a back-up plan all ready! Quiz the babe about what she would like to do apart from twiddling her thumbs and she says, “I want to help people, be of some service, you know. Maybe become like Oprah Winfrey some day.” Whoa! Now that’s some ambition, no? Or is it just wishful thinking? We think it’s more of the latter.Though some may think that television is her backup plan, Imtiaz Ali still swears by her talent. However, sources from the industry feel that other filmmakers have failed to warm up to the US based model. And the reasons they say, could be varied. According to sources, apart from the flak she received for her performance in Rockstar, the fact that she is based in the US may have worked against her film career. Perhaps on the small screen, she will fare better.
