Nora Fatehi opens up about her staunch Muslim practices: 'I fast everyday'


 Nora Fatehi stressed on her religious habits in a viral podcast clip!

In the podcast interview the Krrish 4 actress revealed she has been fasting since the age of 14. 

“After Ramadan do you feel a heightened sense of intuition,”? The host asked the Canadian Moroccan Street dancer.

Remarking on the heightened sense of intuition, the Gangs of Godavari star fervently responded, “I fast every day, even though I’m working. I never break my fast. I always keep it going. [Ramazan] is a great time for me to become disciplined and more spiritual. It’s my duty.”

She further added, “I have to do it. I have to be spiritually inclined and respectful to my religion - but I still have to go to work! So why do I have to choose [either] this or this?”

Fatehi also explained how she manages to balance her religious obligations with her demanding career, “A part of my job is to be physically active as a performer, but that doesn’t mean I break my fast. Fasting is a duty, and it can be fulfilled alongside your other commitments.”

At the same time, Nora Fatehi also commented on the calming effect of praying five times, “When you go into your zone of connecting with your creator, whoever that is for you, you’re in a different realm, spiritually and mentally."
