Before any interview, I try to trace the tiny ways in which I’ve crossed paths with the person I am about to speak to. A quick search leads to Nargis Fakhri popping up in my inbox thrice. The first instance, in 2011, was in the middle of a heated debate with a friend about Imtiaz Ali’s ‘Rockstar’. Another time in 2014, my boyfriend had forwarded a swimsuit shoot starring Fakhri. And most recently, a friend from Mumbai sent me a snippet mentioning the actor in a conversation about haunted places in her city. It’s funny the many ways a celebrity can play cameos in our personal lives, their images and stories cropping up like familiar landmarks in our own journeys.
