Actor Nargis Fakhri recently opened up about the struggles she faced in Bollywood. The actor said she was called 'immature' for being 'honest and authentic.'

Talking to Masala, the 'Rockstar' actor told, 'I didn’t know how to maneuver in a new culture. I was told that because I was so authentic and honest in my feelings it wasn’t a good thing. You have to interact with people even if you’re not comfortable with them. You have to put on a game face, which I couldn’t. I was said to be immature.'

She added that she now understands that people have three faces – a business face, a creative face, and the personal face.'

Speaking about dealing with mental health issues, the actor said, 'Consequently, I developed health issues. Was I depressed? I guess you can use the word. I was unhappy in my situation and was questioning myself as to why I was still there. I took two years off to get healthy. I did Vipassana meditation in the US.'

On the work front, the actor was last seen in 2020 film 'Torbaaz'. As mentioned by her she is currently considering a few film scripts.
