Nargis was born on 20 Ocober 1979 in Queens, New York to a Pakistani businessman Mohammed Fakhri and Marie Fakhri an ex cop. The couple split when Nargis was only 6 years old and her father passed away a year later. Nargis has a younger sister Alisha. Nargis started her career when she appeared in the hit American Reality Show Americas Next Top Model. Though she went through two rounds, she failed the final round in 2004. As a result Nargis started taking individual modeling careers. She came to the notice of the Indian film fraternity when she featured in the Kingfisher Calendar and was signed up by Imtiaz Ali for his musical drama Rockstar. The movie launched Nargis acting career in Bollywood and she couldnt have hoped for a better debut. Nargis played the lead role and love interest of an aspiring musical prodigy played by Ranbir Kapoor as Jordan. In the movie Nargis meets and falls in love with Jordan in Delhi University where he is known as JJ (short for Janardhan Jhakar). They both are still confused about their relationship and Heer (played by Nargis) coins the name Jordan for him before getting married and moving to Prague with her Kashmiri Pundit husband. Jordan is distraught as he has developed feelings for and gets a shock when he is falsely accused of stealing and thrown out of the house. He takes shelter in a dargah and works on his musical skills. Jordan gets noticed and becomes a Rockstar. Searching for happiness he goes to Prague and is reunited with Heer. The happiness is shortlived and Jordan is curtly asked to leave her alone as she is now married. Fate brings them together again when Jordan is asked to help Heer who is suffering from Aplastic Anemia. While Heers parents are worried, they are surprised to see Heer recovering in Jordans presence. The love story starts to blossom only to be tragically cut short when Heer conceives his child and dies due to her condition which had absolutely forbidden her from getting pregnant. Jordan is seen to lose his cool and turn distraught. His anguish however is lapped up by his fans. The movie did very good business and won Nargis the Filmfare Award for Best Debut (Female).
