Nargis Fakhri reveals why she took a mental health break from Bollywood

Nargis Fakhri has opened up on why she had taken a break from acting to focus on her mental health a few years ago. At that time, she had multiple releases but the actress said she still decided to take that break as she did not feel happy.
In a recent conversation, Nargis said, “Somewhere down the line, I realised that I was overworked and stressed. I missed my family and friends. I remember that 2016-2017 was a period of realisation for me. I felt that I wasn’t doing things that made me happy. I did films back-to-back and thought there was just too much happening, and I needed to stop. I felt the need to pause to balance my mind and body. And that’s when I took the step.”
The actress is back in India and will soon hit the big screen with a South movie almost after two years. After making her Bollywood debut with the Ranbir Kapoor starrer ‘Rockstar’, she later appeared in films like ‘Madras Cafe’, ‘Main Tera Hero’, and a Hollywood film ‘Spy’.
Nargis was last seen in a supporting role in the 2020 OTT film ‘Torbaaz’, which starred Sanjay Dutt and Rahul Dev. She is currently filming the Telugu film ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’ co-starring Pawan Kalyan.
