Nora Fatehi: Been lucky to have massive moments in my career
Mumbai, June 19
Bollywood dancing diva Nora Fatehi has spoken about being fortunate to witness many monumental moments in her career. Still, nothing compared to the emotional experience of celebrating the major achievement of performing at the FIFA World Cup with her loved ones by her side.
Nora shared a string of images featuring her sister, mother, brother, high-school teacher and friends at the second FIFA World Cup opening ceremony in Toronto, where the actress of Moroccan descent had performed.
She wrote in the caption section: "I wanted to share this with you guys.. I've been performing for over a decade now.. I've been lucky to have massive moments in my career and I've shared it with some of my favorite people! (sic)."
The 34-year-old dancing diva said after performing for over a decade, this was the first time her mother, siblings, childhood friends, close friends, and even her high-school teacher came together to watch her perform live.
"But never my entire family and loved ones at the same time...This was the first time ever that I finished a performance and found all my loved ones TOGETHER WAITING to embrace me! It was truly an emotional moment for me.. I always go to work alone and when I finish a performance i go home.. but this time it was different.. my loved ones gathered to watch me for the first time live and celebrated with me for the first time!(sic)."
Nora added: "I worked my ENTIRE life for this moment.. no words can describe this feeling. My sister, my mom and my brother were present for the first time! My high-school teacher, someone so dear to me was present! My childhood friends and my close friends today were also there! There are some people I wish were there too but I'm soo happy and grateful.(sic)."

While I appreciate her success, I wish Bollywood would focus more on original dance talent from India rather than importing foreign dancers. But credit where it's due - performing at FIFA is no small feat. Respect for making her family proud. 🇮🇳
This is so beautiful! Having your whole family together for such a big moment - that's what life is all about. Nora's story reminds us that no matter where you come from, hard work and family support can take you places. Massive respect! ❤️
Honestly, I've never been a huge fan of her dance style - it's more about glamour than Indian classical technique. But you can't deny her hard work and the emotional weight of this moment. Family first, always. Good for her!
Her mother and siblings finally watching her live! That must be such a proud moment for any family. Nora may not be Indian by birth, but she's embraced our culture beautifully. From Morocco to Bollywood to FIFA - she's proof that dreams can cross borders 😊
The fact that she invited her high school teacher shows what kind of person she is. Someone who remembers their roots and values relationships. Bollywood needs more stars like this who aren't just about fame but also family. Respect from India! 🙏
