Metro…In Dino, Aap Jaisa Koi To Gustaakh Ishq, Here’s How Fatima Sana Shaikh Is Redefining Romance In Bollywood One Story At A Time

Three love stories in one year is rare enough. Three that don’t look, feel, or sound like each other? That’s almost unheard of. Yet that’s where Fatima Sana Shaikh finds herself in 2025, with Aap Jaisa Koi, Metro… In Dino, and now Gustaakh Ishq. The timing is the result of choices that place her at the centre of a genre Bollywood had almost shelved away — romance.

How Fatima Sana Shaikh Is Redefining Romance With Her 2025 Releases

In Aap Jaisa Koi, she doesn’t play the sweet, agreeable heroine. Instead, she leans into rebellion, carrying an energy that makes her love story both fragile and fierce. The film lets her break out of the mould of what a woman in love is “supposed” to look like on screen.

Metro… In Dino pulls her into another world entirely—the claustrophobic, present-day city, where love is messy, jagged at the edges, and weighed down by circumstance. Here, she doesn’t float in the glow of romance but makes you believe in the ache that accompanies.

And now, there’s her next film – Gustaakh Ishq, steeped in Purani Dilli’s crumbling kothis and old-world silences. Fatima carries the story with her stillness, making her glance into conversations. The film’s poetry and music orbit around her.

Taken together, these three films sketch out what makes her different. Fatima isn’t content with being the ornamental presence opposite a star. Her roles turn the spotlight inward – on what a woman feels, hides, or longs for in love.

It’s been a while since Hindi cinema allowed romance to breathe like this. With these back-to-back films, Fatima Sana Shaikh is quietly restoring that mood, bringing back love stories that make you remember what it’s like to fall, stumble, and want again.

Across these three films, Fatima Sana Shaikh is assuredly bringing romance back, on her own terms.
