She had told people that she was open to acting but was also prepared to head back home and finish college if things did not work in her favour.

She said, “I did seek therapy because when you get a lot of rejection, which I got a lot, a lot of ‘you are not good enough’, a lot of ‘you want to be the next Katrina Kaif?’ and I was like ‘this is terrible’." Nora said that she trusted the wrong people because she did not have any help from anyone in the industry. She further added saying, “Now, I would be like ‘Why am I coming with you? What do you want from me? Clearly, nobody does anything for free but at that time, I was like ‘God sent this person to me’ and I followed a lot of idiots."
