Fatima said, “I am drawn to stories that make me uncomfortable in the best way,” she says while drawing attention to her love for layered storylines. In an industry that continues to evolve, the actress opened up about the importance of staying grounded. She revealed she had taken up photography as a hobby, and she often loves being behind the camera.
