Asked if she would consider working in the Pakistani industry, Nargis, who picked an action-comedy film Spy for her first Hollywood outing last year, said: “I’m not the one to rule anything out.”
“With Pakistan being in my blood, I would certainly look at opportunities to travel there,” Nargis told IANS in an email interaction.
The actor, who will portray Mohammad Azharuddin’s second wife Sangeeta Bijlani’s role in Azhar, feels that with stardom comes responsibility.

In a time where there are divides between cultures and races, I would love to use my position to show that we are all the same inside and working together is the key to moving forward.”
Nargis took the first step towards the world of glamour as a model in 2005. After Rockstar, she did films in a wide variety of genres ranging from serious to fun like Main Tera Hero and Madras Cafe.
