Nargis Fakhri

In honor of the actor's birthday today we went back in time and found the actress's interview from the previous year in which she talked openly about her connection with the actor.

According to Nargis who spoke candidly with ETimes Uday and I dated for five years and he was the most handsome person I encountered in India. I regret not having revealed our connection to the media since I was advised to keep it private by several individuals. 

Instead I should have shouted from the mountaintops how lucky I was to be with such a lovely soul. People won't know the truth since social media and the internet are phonies. The majority of the time we idolize certain individuals that are awful on the inside.
