The verdict
Born in Toronto to Moroccan parents, Nora Fatehi moved to India in her early twenties to pursue a career in Bollywood — and it worked spectacularly. She is now one of the biggest dance performers in Indian cinema. Toronto-born, Bollywood-made, fully Canadian passport. A uniquely 21st-century Canadian story.
