Nargis
Fakhri
Bio
She
was
born
in
Queens,
New
York
to
a
Pakistani
father
and
Czech
mother.
Tale
Of
Her
Name
Nargis
said,
"I
grew
up
with
a
lot
of
Spanish
people
around,
and
they
would
call
me
Nalgas,
which
means
ass-cheeks
but
loved
it
later.
Nobody
else
had
my
name.
And
when
I
was
modelling
I
would
never
use
my
last
name.
Ever."
Her
Ideal
Man
"If
you
want
to
win
me
over,
all
you
gotta
say
is
I
wanna
see
the
Great
Wall
of
China,
or
climb
the
mountains
of
Machu-Picchu.
He
could
be
four
feet
tall
with
a
limp,
a
little
midget
with
a
bike
and
I'll
be
like
‘weally?'"
Her
Bollywood
Knowledge
Her
father
used
to
watch
films,
but
Nargis
had
no
idea
about
Bollywood
nor
had
she
watched
any
film
whiich
was
one
of
the
major
reason
she
said
yes
to
her
debut
film.
She
says,
""It
was
only
when
we
started
doing
promotions
that
I
realised
how
famous
Ranbir
was.
People
were
crying
and
ripping
his
clothes
off
and
throwing
stuff
at
him."
Her
Food
Palate
The
girl
has
eaten
it
all,
from alligator,
frogs,
snails
to
chocolate-covered
ants.
Her
Personality
Contrary
to
her
image
Nargis
is
quite
a
shy
person
with
a
awesome
sense
of
humour.
Her
Gypsy
Lifestyle
She
says,
"I
was
really
tall
and
skinny.
Everyone
would
say
I
should
be
a
model.
I
realised
that
I
had
to
make
a
living
to
get
to
travel.
My
mom
insisted
on
me
finishing
college
-
a
degree
in
psychology
and
fine
arts.
After
I
did
that,
I
started
modelling
in
2005,
which
gave
me
the
opportunity
to
visit
places
and
stay
away
from
home
for
long
periods.
I
would
choose
places
on
the
map
that
looked
interesting
and
then
I'd
see
if
they
had
agencies
and
send
my
portfolio
there.
Even
if
they
didn't
want
me
I'd
go
over
if
I
loved
the
place,
and
once
they
met
me
they
would
fall
in
love
and
I'd
get
the
job!
I
would
stay
for
a
minimum
of
three
months
in
every
country
I
visited.
Sometimes
up
to
a
year."
Her
Ex
Boyfriend
I
met
my
ex-boyfriend
at
a
nightclub
and
fell
in
love
after
six
months
of
dating.
We
moved
in
together
for
four
years,
had
a
house,
a
dog,
cars...
it
was
absolutely
picture
perfect.
He
told
my
mom
that
he
wanted
to
propose
to
me.
But
I
wasn't
ready.
I
felt
like
I
had
more
to
do
in
life.
I
needed
to
keep
travelling;
I
wanted
more
than
a
picture-perfect
life.
I
wanted
adventure,
uncertainty
and
excitement.
So
I
packed
my
bags
and
left.
That
was
eight
years
ago,
and
I
don't
regret
it
one
bit.
See
what
happens
if
you
take
a
chance
-
you
become
a
Bollywood
star!
Her
Plan
To
Never
Marry
She
says,
"I
am
a
very
independent
woman.
I
make
my
own
money,
have
an
education.
I'm
well
travelled
and
cultured.
I
don't
feel
marriage
is
a
necessity.
I
have
seen
way
too
many
unhappy
married
couples
in
my
life.
I've
never
encountered
a
single
marriage
that
has
made
me
want
to
buy
into
the
institution.
I'm
not
saying
I
don't
need
love.
I
do,
but
I'd
rather
focus
on
my
career
and
myself
right
now.
I
won't
compromise,
so
I
don't
know
if
I
would
ever
marry."
Her
Lifestyle
In
Bombay
Now
Nargis
who
used
to
party
all
night
in
Barcelone
is
now
asleep
by
9
and
leads
a
very
low-key
life
style
in
Bombay
and
spends
time
watching
Bolylwood
movies.
Nargis
hasn't
watched
her
namesake
in
any
romances
yet
but
she
has
cried
many
a
tissue
box
over
her
in
Mother
India.
Kahaani's
the
first
film
she
ever
watched
twice,
and
English
Vinglish
made
her
weep
buckets.
She
said,"I
wake
up
in
the
morning
with
a
bed
full
of
booger-tissues.
And
I'm
such
a
sap,
I
cry
when
I
see
a
cute
kid
or
puppy.
So
yeah,
those
movies,
they
got
me."
