Bollywood’s dance sensation Nora Fatehi recently opened up about the challenges of performing the famous Saki Saki dance step, calling it one of her most physically demanding moves. In a conversation with Instant Bollywood, the actress-dancer revealed that despite the difficulty, she still has to perform the step at shows due to its immense popularity.
Nora described the move as “very painful to do”, emphasizing that core strength, flexibility, and precise landing are crucial for executing it correctly. She further explained that many dancers attempt the step but often “cheat” because of how challenging it is.
“It’s one of the most favorite steps of everybody because it’s the most difficult one. If you try and execute it, you’ll either just break your back or go to physio all your life, like me. It’s the speed, the landing, the core strength, the coming up, the flexibility—everyone cheats it,” she said.
Nora Fatehi became an internet sensation with her performance in O Saki Saki, the 2019 chartbuster from Batla House, where her breathtaking dance moves left audiences mesmerized. The song and its choreography remain a fan favorite, often recreated by dancers worldwide.
Despite the physical toll, Nora continues to deliver flawless performances, proving why she is one of Bollywood’s top dancing icons.
