I had given up on acting because I would go for auditions every day, but nothing would happen.

I tried my hand at photography and worked with a studio for six months.

I thought of learning cinematography, so I assisted a cinematographer for an ad.

Shah Rukh Khan is the love of my life. I love Aamir Khan also.

When such acting powerhouses take note of your work and express their appreciation, it is an overwhelming feeling. I could not believe it when Rishi ji tweeted. Then Amitji and Rekha ma'am sent handwritten letters, which I have read more than fifty times. 'Dangal' is a very special film for me, and these are my lifetime treasure.

From Fatima Sana Shaikh

I was very young during 'Chachi 420' and don't remember much now.

From Fatima Sana Shaikh

Kids and adults are treated differently on sets. Being a kid, you can get away with anything, and it looks cute. But as an adult, it's a whole new journey.

From Fatima Sana Shaikh

At one point, I had lost my confidence as an actor, and working again was tough. I started stammering due to lack of confidence. It took time, but things became better.

From Fatima Sana Shaikh

I faced many ups and downs, like any other actor: not getting through auditions or even worse - getting shortlisted and not being selected. Most actors go through the process.

From Fatima Sana Shaikh

I was not getting work, even after auditioning for films. So I started working in a studio as a photographer; I assisted a cinematographer for two ads. I was thinking that I will get into photography or cinematography or assist someone. But then the 'Dangal' offer came, and I was busy with the auditions.
