Nora Fatehi has got everyone grooving on the her latest track - the remake of O Saki Saki. Nora is showing some killing dance moves in the song that features in John Abraham's Batla House. Nora became a household name after she performed in the song Dilbar in John's last film, Satyamev Jayate. But before Nora became famous, the actress went through a rough time during her initial days in the industry.

Talking about her struggling days to an entertainment website, Nora revealed how she lost Rs 20 lakh. She said, "Life for foreigners in India is very difficult. We go through a lot and people don't even know. They take our money. It's happened to me. I remember my first agency who got me here from Canada. They were really aggressive in terms of behaviour and I didn't feel like I was guided the right way. So, I wanted to leave them and in order to do that, they told me 'we are not going to give you your money.' And I lost Rs 20 lakhs at that time, which I had made from my ad campaigns. But I thought sacrificing it would be for a bigger picture."

She added, "I had to share an apartment with 8 girls. I walked in to this apartment, I was shocked and I was freaking out. My roommates stole my passport, I had to leave India and go back to Canada for a while."

The actress also revealed how she was bullied because she couldn't speak Hindi properly. "I started learning Hindi but the auditions were very traumatic for me. I wasn't really mentally prepared and I made a fool of myself. People were really unforgiving. They wouldn't just be mean, they would laugh in front of my face as if I'm some circus. They would bully me. It was humiliating. I used to cry while travelling back to my home. There was this one casting agent who once told me, 'We don't need you here. Go back'. I'll never forget that," she said.
