Welcome back Nargis! You were amazing in Rockstar and Madras Cafe. Excited to see you in Housefull 5 - the franchise needs fresh energy. Hope you get more substantial roles after this comeback. 🤩

Not sure why they keep making Housefull sequels...the last two were quite disappointing. But Nargis is a good addition to the cast. She brings that international charm to Bollywood. Fingers crossed this one's better!

She's looking stunning as always! But honestly, Bollywood needs to give more opportunities to Indian actresses rather than bringing back foreign-born stars repeatedly. We have so much talent here waiting for chances.

Nargis has that X-factor that makes her stand out. Remember how she stole scenes in Main Tera Hero? 😍 Hope Housefull 5 gives her proper screen time and not just a flowerpot role. The cast is huge though, so let's see...

Good to see her back! But I wish she would do more serious roles like Madras Cafe rather than just comedy. She has the potential to be a versatile actress if given the right scripts. Bollywood needs to utilize her better.
