Fatima Sana Shaikh was a popular child actor. She then later made a mark in acting with Aamir Khan’s Dangal movie that released in 2016. The actress recently shared that she does not shy away from texting filmmakers for work. She has no qualms when it comes to approaching filmmakers that she wants to work with. The actress is fierce and texts and calls upfront. Now, recently Fatima Sana shared that she is grateful as people are enjoying her movies amidst the pandemic.
“I do that to remind people that I exist. I don’t do a lot of films, so I am not always there. Kabhi kabhi log casting mein bhool jaate hain ki yeh bhi actor hai. It is very important to hustle. Until and unless you don’t fight for your space and your positioning, no one else will. If I have to call and remind someone that I am there and I don’t mind auditioning, it’s okay. It’s not a bad quality to have.”
Fatima Sana Shaikh is Thankful as People Continue to Watch her Movies Amidst Pandemic
“A lot in their lives by doing so. I like to create opportunities for myself and just not sit at home and wonder mere paas kaam kyun nahin hai. Aapko mehnat karni padegi aur kaam mangna padega,” she says.
She is glad that she has been able to entertain people in the last six months amid a pandemic with three releases –Ludo (2020), Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari (2020), and the anthology Ajeeb Daastaans. “I am glad that people are getting to see my work. Eventually, you work to entertain people. Pandemic hai, things are shut, and I can’t be more grateful that people are able to see the work that I shot before the pandemic. I feel great that we have OTT platforms that are airing films, which are not able to release in theatres. We now have a new medium to connect with the audiences.”
Glad that the reaction to her last release Ajeeb Daastans was encouraging, she shares, “Many people from the industry reached out. It’s always special when people from the industry appreciate your work as it gives you validation and hope. But, also the audiences’ response matters, who are the king and if they don’t like your work, it is game over.”
Earlier this year, Fatima worked with Anil Kapoor for a movie. She admitted that she admires him a lot. Fatima said that Anil Kapoor is the life of the set. Well, we certainly do not doubt that. Fatima spilt truth by adding that Anil is always excited and passionate.
