Fatima Sana Shaikh had a marvellous debut with Nitesh Tiwari directed Dangal that had Aamir Khan in the lead and Sanya Malhotra in a pivotal role. Post Dangal she reunited once again with Aamir for YRF’s Thugs of Hindostan but the film did not fare well at the box office. However, Fatima was greatly disturbed about the rumours of her dating Aamir doing the rounds and opened up about it to an entertainment portal.
Rubbishing the link-up rumours, Fatima told the portal, “Earlier, I used to get affected. I’d feel bad. Because I’ve never dealt with anything of this sort at such a big level. A bunch of strangers, whom I’ve never met, are writing things about me. They don’t even know if there’s any truth to it. People reading it assume that I’m ‘not a good person’. You feel like telling that person, ‘Ask me, I’ll give you an answer’.”

She further added, “It disturbs me because I don’t want people to assume wrong things. Agar main asliyat mein haraami hoon toh people should see my asliyat. But If I’m not, I don’t want them to see me as a bad person. But I’ve learnt to ignore it. Yet, there are some days when I do get affected.” Fatima was appreciated for her role in Thugs of Hindostan which also featured Amitabh Bachchan and Katrina Kaif.
