Speaking on Ranveer Allahbadia’s podcast, Nora mentioned that she has frequently observed such behavior, and it occurred again very recently.
She said, “They’ll say things behind your back, and you’ll get to know what they said, and they have that entitlement of being bullies. Nobody will call them out.” She added that she has managed to get through mainly because she’s intimidating and unpredictable.

Nora said, “Some people don’t get it, they think, ‘How come her? Why not our girl?’ So much of that happens, and they get so angry, and also, a lot of them don’t like my directness.” She added that she’s not like the ‘other girls’ who would behave submissively in front of male stars. “I will joke with you like you’re my homie, I will tell you to your face if something is off, but I’ll also be the most amazing person for your, I’ll help you with whatever your might need,” she said.
Sharing her experiences, Nora continued, “If I feel something is off, I’ll say it. But some people don’t like that. Some people prefer girls who are quiet, submissive, someone who looks like they need the work. I don’t give that power to anybody. And then they’ll say things like, ‘She’s nothing, she’s nobody, she’s not talented, why is she here?’ All that happens, and then they see you again at certain events. They seem to not be able to brush you off, wherever you go, they’re there too, and this irritates them more. You’re slowly climbing up and reaching where they are, and they don’t want that.”
Nora mentioned that these people attempt to overshadow her aura with their negativity. “They start to bully you, demean you, talk bad things about you…” Asked if she’s okay saying these things publicly, Nora replied, “People say s**t about me all the time.” Nora also admitted that even her friends are curious about how she’s managed to avoid predators in Bollywood. “Luckily, I’ve not had that situation, and I know why… I do think that it could have almost happened, but my personality is a little intimidating, so they kind of get like, ‘Iske saath nahi, she could talk’. These people, whether they’re stars or not, at the end of the day are predators.” Nora mentioned that individuals like this “sniff out victims,” but she refuses to be one.
