The Dangal girl, Fatima Sana Shaikh is on a roll and how! Her Diwali is sure to be a crackling one with two back to back releases with Ludo and Sooraj Pe Mangal Bhaari. While she made her debut with none other than Aamir Khan, seems like Fatima is a Shah Rukh Khan girl at heart. The actress is a self-confessed fan of the actor and has, in a recent interview with Mumbai Mirror, called him ‘Mera Pyaar’ and said that working alongside him has always been on her wish-list.
Well, SRK can have that effect on people, amirite? Fun fact: Fatima starred opposite Shah Rukh in the 2001 film, One 2 Ka 4 as a child artist! She confesses to being a sleazy fan of the actor and says that she stalks him on social media. She even says that she has commented ‘I love you’ on his posts and has waited patiently for his response! Like any loyal and dedicated fan, she says she watches all his interviews, and doesn’t spare even those from his kids’ school graduation! Talk about being a fan, no?
We sure can’t wait to see her and SRK work together very soon!
On the work front, Fatima recently starred in and turned director for Vishal Bharadwaj‘s music video titled, Pankhein Kholo. She now has Ludo, directed by Anurag Basu. The film boasts of a stellar ensemble cast consisting of Abhishek Bachchan, Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, Sanya Malhotra, Aditya Roy Kapur, Rohit Saraf among others and is set to release on Netflix on November 12th. Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari stars Fatima alongside Diljit Dosanjh and Manoj Bajpayee and is directed by Abhishek Sharma. It is all set for a theatrical release on 13th November.
