When it comes to Bollywood dance numbers, few performances are as iconic as Nora Fatehi’s in the hit song ‘Dilbar’ from Satyameva Jayate. Known for her captivating moves and stunning visuals, Fatehi has become a fan favourite. However, behind the scenes, she faced pressure regarding her wardrobe choices for this sensational track.In a recent interview at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne, Nora revealed that the team initially wanted her to wear a “tiny” blouse for the song. She explained the importance of not over-sexualizing her image. “I remember they had to make a new blouse because the blouse they brought was too tiny, and I had to put my foot down. I said, ‘Guys, I cannot wear this. Don’t over-sexualise me. I get it, it is a sexy song. We are all inherently sexy, but we don’t need to get vulgar about it,’” she shared.Nora’s request for a new blouse wasn’t just a personal preference; it was about preserving the artistic integrity of the performance. She explained, “It was also Ramadan, so I said, ‘Guys, chill. Can we please not do this?’” Her insistence on a more modest outfit resulted in the reconstruction of the blouse to fit her comfort level. “I don’t mind showing the stomach because it is about the aesthetics, but I cannot be showing too much cleavage,” she added.Speaking of the professional front, she was last seen in Madgaon Express.
