New Delhi, October 19 (Udaipur Kiran): Actress Nargis Fakhri, who made a stunning Bollywood debut opposite Ranbir Kapoor in Rockstar (2011), celebrates her 46th birthday on Monday. Known for her charming screen presence and glamorous roles, Nargis has worked across Bollywood, Hollywood, and South Indian cinema.
Born in New York, Nargis has roots in both America and Pakistan. Her father, Mohammed Fakhri, was of Pakistani origin, while her mother, Maria A. Fakhri, is American. The two later separated, and her father has since passed away. Because of her mixed heritage, Nargis holds dual citizenship in both Pakistan and the United States.
Her modeling journey began at the age of 16. She appeared in Pakistani fashion shows and gained global attention after participating in America’s Next Top Model in 2004. Her success led her to work with top Indian brands, including the Kingfisher Calendar, where she became a recognized face.
Nargis entered Bollywood with Rockstar (2011), which turned out to be a major success and established her in the film industry. She went on to appear in popular films such as Madras Cafe, Main Tera Hero, Azhar, and Amavas. In 2015, she made her Hollywood debut with Spy, and later appeared in South Indian films like Rashna: The Ray of Light and Sahasam.
After several years of back-to-back projects, Nargis decided to take a break from films, citing stress and a desire to spend time with family and friends. She shared that she wanted to focus on her happiness and mental well-being.
On the personal front, Nargis reportedly tied the knot with her long-time boyfriend Tony Beig in a private ceremony, keeping the marriage secret for six months. The couple now makes occasional public appearances together.
