This actress is busy promoting her upcoming film these days.
15 years ago, a film starring Hrithik Roshan marked the Bollywood debut of a fresh actress. The Mexican actress’s debut film was such a massive flop at the box office that it ended up being her first and last film.
Now, after 15 years, she is eager to make a comeback in Bollywood. Barbara Mori made her Bollywood debut with Hrithik Roshan in the film Kites. In this film, she played the lead role opposite the superstar, but unfortunately, Kites performed poorly at the box office. After the flop of her first film, the actress turned away from Hindi films.
Now, 15 years after the release of Kites, Barbara Mori is looking to make a comeback in Bollywood. In an interview with News18 Showsha, she expressed her desire to return to the industry, saying, “I would love to make a comeback in Bollywood. If you invite me, I will definitely come.”
During the filming of Kites, rumors about Barbara Mori and Hrithik Roshan’s alleged affair made quite a buzz. It was reported that during the shoot, Hrithik gifted the foreign actress expensive gifts worth lakhs, adding fuel to the speculations about their off-screen chemistry.
On set, the growing closeness between Barbara Mori and Hrithik Roshan fueled the rumors about their affair. However, neither of them ever commented on these speculations. After Kites, Barbara Mori did not appear in any other Bollywood films.
These days, Barbara Mori is busy promoting her upcoming film Lookaz World. The film is set to premiere on Netflix on January 31, 2025. In this movie, she stars alongside Juan Pablo Medina, who also plays a lead role.
Lookaz World is an emotional story of a mother that portrays the profound impact the challenges in a child’s life have on the mother. The film is based on the story of a son suffering from cerebral palsy and his mother, who, despite all odds, is determined to help her son get better.
Talking about the script of Lookaz World, Barbara Mori shared that she was deeply moved by the story, as she is a mother in real life. She recalled, “I started crying as soon as I read the script. I couldn’t believe that I was chosen to play such a character.” The emotional depth of the story resonated with her personally, making the role even more special.
Barbara Mori says, “This happens everywhere in the world, and in Mexico, there aren’t enough facilities to deal with such conditions. It was very heartbreaking to think that something like this happens to someone, and that’s when I started crying.” Her emotional reaction highlights the difficult reality of dealing with such challenges, especially in places with limited support systems.
