We never knew there was a hidden rapper in the actress Nargis Fakhri, until Hrithik Roshan challenged her with the Bang Bang Dare. And this lady accomplished the dare just like she knew rapping ever since she was born.

Nargis posted her 1 minute 50 seconds long rapping video where she is seen wearing black attire with a cap.

Deeply astonished with her act Hrithik replied back, “Woah!!!! Have u seen this!!! RT @NargisFakhri: @iHrithik here u go! My freestyle rap just b4 going on stage for GQ http://youtu.be/dxkKS8AfHlw” on Twitter. He further tweeted “Woman!! I still can’t get over your rap! I hope u know how amazing u r. True feminine power! Love u n inspired by u! @NargisFakhri.”

Must say, Hrithik’s Bang Bang Dare created more buzz than any other promotional strategy till date. Otherwise, how many actors would have come to promote the film when they are not even part of it. Though they did it indirectly, yet ‘Bang Bang!‘ got successfully registered in millions of minds with these happening dares.
