“My aesthetic is the same as most of the girls in our industry right now. We have started looking the same. I don’t know how that happened,” she said.
The actor added that due to this, she does not let her stylists dress her up in a similar style as other young actors. Nora explained, “Today when I do have the power to talk. I do tell my stylists, ‘This is too much.
’ The way they dress Ananya (Panday), Sara (Ali Khan), or Janhvi (Kapoor), they cannot dress me the same way. My body is not the same. I have a lot of conflict where I do have to push this on stylists and directors because they will make certain clothes and be like, ‘Well, the others are wearing this.
’ I am like, ‘I get that, but the others don’t look like me, unfortunately when I wear it.’" The actor added that her body type is 'not really familiar in Bollywood' and it gets tough for her to explain to directors and stylists that. However, Nora said that they agree with her once they understand where she is .
