Monitoring Desk

MUMBAI: After delivering a powerful performance in Dangal and later in the Amitabh Bachchan starrer, Thugs Of Hindostan, Fatima Sana Shaikh has become an actor to watch out for. Fatima, who usually likes to keep her life private, opened up with Filmfare about rumours of her dating Aamir Khan doing the rounds. The actress admits being disturbed by all such reports considering he’s just been a mentor and friend to her.

Rubbishing the link-up rumours, Fatima told Filmfare, “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’. 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.”

The actress also admitted that she looks forward to working with King Shah Rukh Khan someday soon.
