Fatima Sana Shaikh on Going From Child Actor to Bollywood Daredevil: ‘Nothing Is Permanent, and There Is No Point in Being Arrogant’


Bollywood star Fatima Sana Shaikh discusses her journey from 'Dangal' to diverse roles in love stories, action-packed films and playing a cop.

As she gears up for her upcoming projects — including “Ul Jalool Ishq” by Vibhu Puri, “Aap Jaisa Koi” for Netflix, “Metro… In Dino” by Anurag Basu and “Nyaya” by Nitya Mehra and Karan Kapadia — Shaikh is embracing every role with a mix of excitement and humility. Of “Ul Jalool Ishq,” the anticipated production from renowned fashion designer Manish Malhotra, Shaikh says: “I’m really excited because I’m working with incredibly talented actors.” The film pairs her opposite Vijay Varma, with the legendary Naseeruddin Shah rounding out the main cast. Another significant project in her pipeline is Anurag Basu’s “Metro In Dino,” a spiritual successor to the beloved “Life in a Metro.” The musical features compositions by Pritam, with Shaikh paired opposite Ali Fazal.
