“If anyone would need to embody that and show what that emotion is, I think I would be able to connect with it,” says Nora Fatehi, playing legendary performer Helen in her biopic.
Entertainment news is abuzz with IIFA 2023 coverage, but Nora Fatehi’s ecstatic performance has highlighted it. She performed a non-stop 10-minute enchanting performance that took the whole arena back to legendary performer Helen’s era, leaving the audiences spellbound. Everything from her costume to visuals to her movements in the performance was entrancing, to say the least. Songs like ‘Piya Tu’ and ‘Aaj Ki Raat’, a massive hit back then, revived the audience this time with Nora’s magic. If anyone can so accurately pull off the responsibility of channelling Helen’s aura, it is Nora herself!
In many of her interviews, Nora Fatehi has also often idolized legendary actress and dancer Helen. In 2017, she even met the star who later blessed her.
When asked how she managed to pull this off easily, she mentioned, “I studied all her videos properly, even the breathing spaces of the shoulder movements, the hands and just the aura! I had to be feminine, I had to be poised, I had to be very flirty, and I had to own it!”
If she would play Helen in her biopic, if it were ever to be made, to which she said, “Of course, that would be an honour! I mean, if the filmmakers ever think of me, because I feel like we have so many similarities. She came from a different country, and I did. It was tough for both of us. We were introduced to the world through dance, and that too in a different dance genre. We changed what dance meant in cinema…… If anyone would need to embody that and show what that emotion is, I think I would be able to connect with that. But, of course, it would be an honour.”
She continues to say, “I would die! That, for me, would be like packing up. I’m done! I did what I came to do.”
Glimpses of the award show have been circulating the internet, but fans will have to wait a bit more to watch the whole performance.
