Commenting on the constant nudges on relationship status by the media, Nargis Fakhri says actors are also entitled to some privacy, reports IANS. “Being spoken about on a public platform does not give a nice feeling to anyone. Actors also like to have some privacy in their life. Actors are not exempt from those (human) feelings and do get bothered by link-up stories,” she said.
The actor who forayed into Bollywood as Heer in Rockstar was in the news for her relationship with actor-producer Uday Chopra and recently fuelled another rumour of dating actor Hrithik Roshan. However, Fakhri seems to be a firm believer in the phrase ‘ignorance is bliss’ and prefers to ignore all such reports. “I think when you are in this field you have no choice but to ignore such reports,” the actor said.
Fakhri, who launched Parachute Advanced Knowledge Centre’s ‘Art of Oiling’ with international massage expert Moses Chundi recently, also outlined a number of benefits of coconut oil and stressed on the revival of the art of oiling which is vanishing from India. “I have learned so much from India, for instance the use of aloe vera which I use and I find it sad when I see certain arts of oiling slowly fading away,” she says. “I use coconut oil every single day. The oil can also be used as make-up remover as it is light based and is not sticky,” added the actor.
The actor who also showed her acting prowess in serious films like Madras Cafe and went on to raise temperatures with item numbers like Devil and Dhating Naach said in today’s busy life health in being neglected. “In this hectic life, we have no time to take care of ourselves; hence massage is needed for rejuvenation and stress reduction. A lot of people are looking for quick fixes like they are taking medications and they are doing other things which are not healthy. But massage is very holistic and natural,” she said.
