Actor and dancer Nora Fatehi recently took her fans on a nostalgic trip down memory lane, sharing a throwback picture from her school days on social media. The post, which quickly garnered attention, featured Nora and her group of friends at 17, preparing for a school performance in glitzy black and blue outfits. The photo showed the group striking a pose with playful pouts, capturing a moment before they took the stage for a long-practised dance routine.
In her caption, Nora expressed surprise at stumbling upon the old photo and reflected on the experience of choreographing and performing a belly dance fusion with her friends. She shared how they had spent weeks practising for the performance, with Nora taking the lead in teaching the group.

“I tried to teach them everything I knew at the time,” she wrote, reminiscing about the passion and dedication they had for the performance, which appears to have been a hit.
One of Nora’s friends from the picture, Nashana, also left a heartfelt comment, writing, “OMGSH!!! Look at us!!!! So young but yet so passionate!!! Damn, this took me down memory lane for real!! One of the best dances I’ve ever learned! Nora is THE BELLY DANCING QUEEN. So proud of you!” The comment highlighted the close bond the group shared and the fond memories of their time together.
As with many celebrity throwbacks, Nora’s post drew a variety of reactions, including speculation about her appearance. Some users suggested that Nora looked different in the old photo, leading to discussions about whether she had undergone cosmetic surgery. One comment read, “Hahaha guys, she’s the first one on the left side. Yeah, with no surgeries but still looks pretty.” Another added, “How can there be so much difference between 17 and 18?”
However, several fans were quick to defend Nora, pointing out that it’s natural for people to change as they grow older. One comment stated, “For those saying she doesn’t look the same—do YOU look the same in your thirties as you did at 16? Didn’t think so.”
Nora’s throwback not only brought back cherished memories but also sparked conversations about change, growth, and the unrealistic expectations often placed on celebrities.
