Nargis Fakhri and Uday Chopra
Uday Chopra has changed his name to Gudvar Thorgard on social media. He wrote, "Thanks Viking name generator (sic)." The name change was accompanied by gloom as the Dhoom actor posted, "I wish I could love with the same intensity, I used to love a few years ago. There was this girl and I felt alive just loving her. I've lost that now. I just want that passion back. (sic)." Netizens were quick to point out that he is still pining for former flame Nargis Fakhri who is now dating American director Matt Alonzo.
On the work front, Uday Chopra was last seen on the silver screen in 2013 as Ali in the third installment of the Dhoom franchise which also starred Aamir Khan, Abhishek Bachchan and Katrina Kaif. Uday founded YRF Entertainment, a Los Angeles based production and financing company focused on developing and producing feature films for the United States and international marketplace. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Yash Raj Films Private Limited.
On the professional front, Nargis Fakhri is working as a social worker in Sanjay Dutt's upcoming film, Torbaaz. A far cry from her image, she has gone completely de-glam for her role in Torbaaz. On the other hand, Nargis Fakhri's film 5 Weddings with Rajkummar Rao was premiered at the Cannes Film Festival this year.
Nargis Fakhri and Matt have got both their names' initials inked above their palms, 'MN' with a 'his-and-her' crown. Like any other mate, on April 17, Matt's 33rd birthday, Nargis gave him a beautiful surprise. She hosted a grand birthday bash at a nightclub in California with a set of few close friends.
