“I think Katrina Kaif would understand my pain as she too was slammed into pieces”
— NARGIS FAKHRI
While Ranbir Kapoor drew bouquets for his performance in Imtiaz Ali’s Rockstar, the movie’s leading heroine Nargis Fakhri had to face brickbats. Critics and audiences had torn her apart with judgement on her acting skills. Now talking about criticism, Nargis Fakhri who never minces her words, has shared with Huffington Post how traumatic it was to be at the receiving end.
“They ripped into my butthole. That didn’t feel nice. Now imagine you get a second one, when you didn’t even ask for it in the first place,” she said anticipating the audience’s reaction to her forthcoming release Azhar. She rued people mocked her without knowing her reality. But then Madras Café (2013) happened and they were suddenly appreciating me. I think people need to understand the context in which other people exist. You don’t know what happened to me after Rockstar — it was hell on earth. Everybody tore me to pieces. If they knew my background, they’d say ‘God, she’s got big balls for even trying this’. But nobody said that. Everybody was happy trampling all over me,” the actress said.

Now she is not caring about critics anymore. “So, I don’t really care what people say about Azhar. Rockstar was so bloody traumatic that nothing can put me down,” she said adding that only Katrina Kaif could understand her anxiety. “I think Katrina Kaif would understand my pain as she too was slammed into pieces – we two girls should sit down and have a girl-on-girl cry together. I’m into hugging and touching, don’t know she’d like that though,” she joked.
