Actress Nargis Fakhri took a short trip down memory lane recently, reminiscing about growing up in public housing projects for low income families. Sharing a childhood photo, she appreciated how everyone supported each other despite being “dirt poor”. Fakhri wrote, “Here's a little piece of me I'm sharing with all of y'all: This is my family. Growing up in the projects wasn't easy but we always made the best of things. Even though we were dirt poor, we had each other. Sometimes there wasn't food and we would share an egg or some milk. Whoever had shared. We had community, we looked out for each other.”

She added, “Lately i feel sad because as we grew up & we grew apart because life took us in different directions. But no matter what, even today you are my family. #community #sisterhood #hood #projectlife #piecesofme #hardknocks #life #growth #iloveyou.”

After launching a career in modelling at the age of 16, Nargis made her Bollywood debut with Imtiaz Ali's 'Rockstar' in 2011. On the work front, she will be next seen in Girish Malik's 'Torbaaz'.
