Bollywood Diva Nora Fatehi's much awaited performance in Bangladesh is finally happening. The "Dilbar" famed actress has been in the middle of a tug of war, as both the Women's Leadership Corporation and Mirror magazine vied to make her perform at their programme. Now, however, it is reported that the star will perform for only 40 minutes on the stage. 

Previously, Nora Fatehi was supposed to only come in December to take part in Mirror magazine's award show. However, she was denied permission to perform by the Ministry of Cultural Affairs, mainly due to the dollar crunch. 

 

When Mirror noticed that Nora had announced that she would take part in the Global Achievers Awards in November—which is being organised by the Women's Leadership Corporation—they sent a legal notice to Nora, stating that if she doesn't return the Rs 15 lakh advance, then she cannot perform in any events in Bangladesh.

Finally, both parties came to an agreement and announced their decision via a press conference on October 15. Sharna Maria Mrittik, the founder of Women's Leadership Corporation along with the managing director of Mirror Group, Shahjahan Bhuiyan, was present at the event.

In the joint press conference, they said, "The misunderstanding that was caused by Nora Fatehi's visit to Bangladesh has been resolved. There are no more complications with her visit to Dhaka."

The organisers said that Nora Fatehi would be coming to Bangladesh on November 18 to attend the Global Achiever Award-2022 event. She will perform on the grand stage—performing in a total of three outfits—while also distributing awards at the programme. All of this, within just 40 minutes.

Apart from Nora Fatehi, local artistes will also perform in the programme. However, the list is yet to be finalised.

Earlier on, Nora confirmed her visit to Dhaka with a video message on Facebook. The actress posted that she is elated to be coming to Dhaka on November 18, and that she looks forward to interacting with the people of Bangladesh. "I am looking forward to meeting you all. See you on November 18," said the actress.
