Nora Fatehi faces heavy criticism for holding the national flag upside down

One of the major attraction for Indians in the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 was Nora Fatehi. She performed in the World Cup event on several well-known Bollywood songs, such as Saki Saki and Manike. However, she has now drawn flak for holding the Indian national flag upside down. The video of the incident has gone viral on social media.

Nora performed on some of the well-known songs during the FIFA Fan Fest event. She also gave performance on "Light of the Sky," the World Cup anthem. Nora appeared in multiple viral videos wearing glistening silver clothing and receiving applause from the crowd following an outstanding performance.

"Jai Hind," she cries as she takes the Indian flag. Additionally, she commands the crowd to shout "Jai Hind." But she unintentionally lifted the flag upside down. She was heard saying: India is not a part of the FIFA World Cup but now we are in spirits!


While several social media users have complimented Nora Fatehi for making India proud despite her dual citizenship with Canada and Morocco, others ridiculed the actress and criticised her for dishonouring the Indian flag.

One social media user said: OMG no respect for the flag this is so horrible acting and performing is not everything. He further commented that: Look at the manner they are flinging the flag. This is such an insult.
