Nora further explained that she met with people who would make her feel uncomfortable as their ‘energies and intentions’ were not good. She also revealed that there are some men in the industry who want women closer to them, and succeed over her. Sharing her experience on The Ranveer Show, the actress recalled:
“I've met other stars who have not been like that who have been very disrespectful very mean just like kind of like borderline bullies. Their body language won't be very welcoming, their facial expressions, their taunting, their jokes, they'll say things behind your back. I'm intimidating at the end of the day some people don't get it they don't understand how come her why not our girls? So much of that happens, and they get so angry, and also, a lot of them don’t like my directness.”
Further in the conversation with Ranveer, Nora also shared her thoughts on Bollywood marriages. She said that many couples in the industry claim to be in love just to stay relevant. Nora added that people get married to someone as the other person might have a few films releasing in the coming years, and to take advantage of that fame, they decide to get married. Tagging them as ‘calculative’, Nora said:
“I see it in my industry people get married for clout. People use these wives or husbands for networking and for circles, for money, for relevance even. They think, 'I have to marry that person so I can stay relevant for the three years because she has a few films releasing and they were doing well at the box office, so I have got to ride that wave'. People are that calculative. Those are predators, too.”

She said that people in the industry have been getting married for fame more than love, just to stay in the right circles. The actress also questioned how one can sacrifice one's personal life for their career. Highlighting the difference between work and personal life, Nora said:

“These guys and girls will destroy their whole life for money, fame and power. Nothing is worse than getting married to someone that you don't even love and then living with them for years, most of the people in our industry are here doing that nonsense. Just because they want to be in the right camp and circles. They want to be relevant because they don't know where their career is going to go. So, they need some backup plan. I don't understand sacrificing your personal life, mental health and happiness because work is work, home life and personal life is something else. You can't mix them both because then you will never be happy.”
