Not Dangal, Fatima Sana Shaikh Reveals THIS ’90s Film Was Her First As Aamir Khan’s Co-Star And It’s One You Would Never Imagine!

Fatima Sana Shaikh, the talented actress who rose to fame with her impressive performance in the sports drama Aamir Khan’s Dangal, has a long history in the film industry. What many may not know is that her first film with Khan was not Dangal but rather the 1997 romantic film Ishq. In one of the most iconic scenes from Ishq, Fatima, dressed in a pink frock, could be seen in Kajol’s arms. This was just the beginning of her journey in the industry, as she had already worked as a child artist in films like Chachi 420, Bade Dilwala, and One 2 Ka 4.

Talking about it, she said, “Bohot pehle wo Ishq film thi. Usme ek scene hai jahan pe Aamir jaata hai aise ‘mara, mara, mara’ karta hai aur saamne Kajol uske haath mein ek bacchi hoti hai toh voh bacchi main hun. Haan voh main hoon (Long back, there was a film called Ishq. So, there is this scene where Aamir goes like this and says ‘mara, mara, mara’ and in front of him is Kajol who had a little girl in her arms, so that child is me. Yes, that’s me).”
