Poor little girl, they should not have done that to her. The very white and bright Nargis Fakhri has started to find her feet in the Indian film industry, you know, when you don’t have acting talent you take time to find them. But her colleagues seem to be adamant on keeping her off-balanced.

Check out what happened to her when two young actors Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Gupta tried to pull a prank on her during the shoot of a TV reality show. As Nargis F stepped out of the elevator on the floor where she was supposed to take part in the recording, she found a menacing looking guy standing in front of the lift pointing a gun at her. Just as he waved his gun a little, the actress collapsed on the floor! Varun D and Sidharth G hadn’t realised that the actress was frail of heart. They rushed towards her, lifted her up and called for an ambulance. Thankfully Nargis F regained consciousness in a while after which the two boys begged for her forgiveness with clasped hands. Till last reports came in, she hadn’t forgiven them.
