Actress Nargis Fakhri was going through an amazing career run few years back when she suddenly decided to a break and went away from the big screen for a while. Although many would consider taking a break at the peak of your career as an unwise decision but Nargis knew what she had to do. During a recent conversation with a news outlet, the actress revealed what compelled her to stay away from the hustle and bustle of B town.

Nargis told Pinkvilla, "I never had a day off or I would have a day off. But when you have 1 day off and your friends and family are like 24 hours plane ride, how do you actually get to go see them and recharge? There came a point when I had to ask myself, why am I working so hard when I can’t even enjoy the fruits of my labour? So I had to make a decision."

The actress further shared how this decision was discouraged by people. She said, "Initially, I said that I need a few months off and people were like if you are going to take a few months off, you are going to be gone. You will just disappear off the map. But then I had to just take that chance and I am happy that I took that chance. I am happy that I wasn’t scared into continuing in that rat race.”
