Nora adds, "India is not part of the FIFA World Cup but we are now in spirits through our music and dance."

What caught netizens' attention was the way she held the National flag. She picked up the Indian national flag from the stage that was lying, then waved it, but due to windy weather, the flag was turned upside down. Nora didn't realise and waved it, she then held the flag clenched in her palms. Indians all over social media were unhappy and called out Nora for disrespecting the Indian National flag.
