Mumbai. Nora Fatehi has done it again – taking Indian pop culture to the global stage, grabbing the attention of the world with an iconic step. In a video going viral on social media, global sensation Nora Fatehi got American superstar Ciara to perform the iconic hookstep of ‘Saki Saki’, which has become a symbol of Nora’s strong on-screen presence. The unexpected collab is now being seen as a historic cultural fusion.
Ciara, known for chartbusters like “Level Up”, “How We Roll”, “1, 2 Step”, and “Goodies”, is a Grammy-winning R&B and pop artist who has ruled the global music charts. Seeing her embrace Bollywood with all the gusto and energy and move in sync with Nora’s amazing choreography is not just an internet-breaking moment but also shows how music and dance can unite cultures.
This amazing collaboration with Ciara comes soon after Nora’s stunning appearance at the American Music Awards (AMAs), where she stole the show in a custom Tom Ford ensemble. From ruling the international carpet to performing with global artists like Jason Derulo to her hit ‘Snake’ (which has already garnered over 130 million views), Nora has been proving that her talent has no limits.
What makes this moment even more iconic is the history behind the ‘Saki Saki’ choreography. When the song was released five years ago, it took the internet by storm and shook the internet with its strong choreography and bold performance – it quickly became a defining moment in Bollywood pop culture.
The signature hookstep performed by Nora became a globally viral trend on TikTok and Instagram, with thousands of people from around the world attempting the challenging move using the hashtag Dance With Nora. Nora received global acclaim for the precision and power in her performance, which inspired dancers and fans around the world. The track is about to cross 1 billion views, cementing its place in pop culture history.
Constantly breaking boundaries and embracing global influences, Nora Fatehi has made headlines with international collabs, viral hits and memorable red carpet looks. On the acting front, she recently made headlines for her role as Ayesha Dhondy in ‘The Royals’ (which also includes ‘Be Happy’) and is now set to play the lead in ‘Kanchana 4’.
