With several hits to her credit, Nora Fatehi has become the go-to girl for special dance numbers in films. Her latest offering, O Saki Saki remix, sees her attempting fire dancing in the Nikkhil Advani-directed Batla House. "I had only three days to learn how to use the prop [fire fan]. Once I got the basic idea of handling it, I had to learn the complicated dance steps," recounts Fatehi, adding that fire dancing, by its very nature, is risky when done by a novice. "The fire fans were heavy. Add to that, I had to wear a flowy skirt and leave my hair loose. So, playing with fire in such a scenario was challenging. Now that the song is liked by everyone, my hard work has paid off."
