Nora Fatehi Shares Amusing Train Ordeal Involving a Rat at Film Event


Renowned for her mesmerizing dance skills and vibrant on-screen presence, Bollywood actress Nora Fatehi recently found herself in the spotlight not for a dance number, but for a rather amusing personal revelation. During the trailer launch of her highly anticipated film ‘Madgaon Express’, the actress opened up about her quirky fear—the fear of rats—and recalled a particularly memorable incident that occurred during a train journey to Goa.

Nora Fatehi, captured by the lens of Yogen Shah, engaged with the media at the event, beaming with the excitement that accompanies the launch of a passion project. Her upcoming film ‘Madgaon Express’, where she essays the role of the female protagonist, has additional reasons to be in the news as it marks the directorial debut of versatile actor Kunal Kemmu.

While the launch was about the film, the conversation took a detour when Fatehi was quizzed about an experience she could recall from her travels to Goa. With candid expressions and animated gestures, she recounted the tale of her rodent encounter in vivid detail to the amused reporters.

“This incident happened seven years ago,” she began, invoking the scene for those gathered. It was a train ride that she embarked on with a group of friends. Being the only person in the group hailing from Mumbai, she felt a sense of responsibility for the journey’s success. While immersed in lively conversations in the train coach, Fatehi described the moment that took a surprising turn, “suddenly, I saw a rat.” She admitted without hesitation, “I have a fear of rats.”

What transpired next, as she described, was a scene laced with humor and panic. Her voice rose an octave as she relived her reaction, “I screamed so hard and started running.” The absurdity of the situation was not lost on her, “But where would you run off in a train? You can’t jump off the train.” Ultimately, she ended up spending a considerable amount of time by the door until her friends assured her the coast was clear.

The actress’s charm and willingness to share such a personal and playful story endeared her further to her fans and the media alike. The reminiscence served as a light-hearted prelude to a more serious discussion about her role and the creative process behind ‘Madgaon Express’.

Under the banner of Excel Entertainment, the film is poised for a grand theatrical release on March 22, much to the anticipation of cinema-goers who have been eager to see Nora Fatehi’s latest venture and Kunal Kemmu’s transition into the director’s chair. The synergy between the two artists, both stepping into new territories, has piqued the interest of the film-going public.

As stories of Fatehi’s rat encounter and details about ‘Madgaon Express’ permeate through the news cycle, it serves as a reminder of the organic moments that often transpire amidst the orchestrated realm of film promotions. Her candidness adds a layer of relatability to the actress, showcasing a human side that sometimes gets overshadowed by the glitz and glamour commonly associated with Bollywood stars.
