Actress Nargis Fakhri who is always loved and remembered for her debut performance in the film Rockstar, is all set to come up with her new Hindi language film titled Shiv Shastri Balboa.

Though her performance is noticed in films like Madras Cafe, Main Tera Hero, Azhar, Housefull 3 and Banjo, among others the actress is visibly comfortable with English dialogues more than Hindi.

During the trailer launch of Shiv Shastri Balboa, a journalist asked the actress if she is finding it more challenging to get roles in Hindi films due to the limitation she has with the language.

Nargis said, " U think as an actor when it comes to project, we should be open to anything and everything but yes English is my first language so I am at ease with English. But as an actor, I have to work hard and it is not an easy job anyway. So if you are willing to work hard and work on the role, you can achieve anything. When it comes to my Hindi, look I wasn't born and raised here and grow up with the language Hindi so yes, I would say it will always be...(little challenging) not like English, that's all I can say."

Nargis is born and brought up in New York to a Pakistani father and a Czech mother and therefore she is quite a global citizen and more comfortable speaking in English.

Set in the heartland of the USA, the film revolves around two elderly individuals who dealt with an extraordinary situation and give life a second chance.

She will be playing a pivotal part in the upcoming film alongside Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Sharib Hashmi, Jugal Hansraj, Anil Joseph and Alison Corriere in film Shiv Shastri Balboa that releases in the theatre on February 10.
