New Delhi: Nargis Fakhri opened up about moving to India for the first time and living in a haunted apartment in Mumbai in her initial years. The model made her Bollywood debut with Imtiaz Ali's 'Rockstar' starring Ranbir Kapoor which became a blockbuster. Recently, in an interaction with Mashable Middle East, the actor-model spoke about pursuing acting in India after having grown up in New York, having lived in Europe and SouthEast Asia.
Nargis shared that for the first few days, she could not muster the courage to leave her temporary accommodation. She shared that the apartment was next to a cemetery and that she experienced a strange activity that made her move out. "I got an apartment, it was on Hill Road, near the cemetery. I only lasted three days,” she said.
Nargis continued her ghost story, “I kept having this weird dream, and waking up at 3 in the morning… The ‘hauntedness’ was crazy. I mean, this dream was so scary. It was a man that looked like a ghost. He was like a 6 foot 5, white, pale, scary guy that would take me to the cemetery. Then he would dig his hand in the cemetery, and then pull out bones of people and eat the flesh and ask me to eat some. That was my dream. Four days in a row.”
Nargis then asked her team to move her to Delhi. When the people came to pack her bags in the apartment, they told her that they found 'six dead baby birds' in her caibent. "Isn’t that weird? I don’t know what was happening there,” she said.
Nargis Fakhri also shared that even her jewellery got stolen in the apartment by the maid who was recommeneded to her. However, she added that she is not materialistic and that she moved on.
Nargis Fakhri is known for 'Rockstar', 'Madras Cafe' and 'Main Tera Hero'.
