The AMAs was the latest event Nora attended. The event was held on Monday night (Tuesday morning India time) at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas hotel. After pictures of Nora's appearance were posted on Reddit, one social media user remarked, "One day she's in Dubai.. The other day in India.. Then, just a few days ago, she was in Nepal.. Before that in NYC, Chicago and London, and now here she comes attending this in Vegas." Many others wondered why Nora was at the event. In India, Nora is largely known as an actor and dancer. Her singing gigs have largely taken place overseas. One Redditor clarified, "She sang the Fifa anthem and Dirty Little Secret, It's true, Snake, etc." Another marvelled at how Nora was now hobnobbing with global music royalty. "No one thought but yes and she is now standing next to JLo," read the comment. Jennifer Lopez hosted the 2025 AMAs, and also put up a headline-grabbing performance where she kissed her backup dancers. Nora was last seen playing a princess in the Netflix show, The Royals, in which she was paired opposite Ishaan Khatter. Prior to this, she played a dance teacher in the Prime Video film, Be Happy, which also starred Abhishek Bachchan.

According to Ayurveda, five elements make up the universe — vayu (air), jala (water), akash (space), teja (fire), and prithvi (earth). These elements are believed to form three different doshas, which are defined as types of energy that circulate within your body. Each dosha is responsible for specific physiological functions. According to this diet, your dosha determines which foods you should eat to promote inner balance. For example, per the pitta dosha focuses on cooling, energising foods and limits spices, nuts, and seeds, while, the vata dosha favors warm, moist, and grounding foods while restricting dried fruits, bitter herbs, and raw veggies. The kapha dosha limits heavy foods like nuts, seeds, and oils in favour of fruits, veggies, and legumes. Red meat, artificial sweeteners, and processed ingredients are limited for all three doshas, as the Ayurvedic diet encourages eating healthy whole foods.
