I would love to surrender in love: Fatima Sana Shaikh l Exclusive
However, Fatima emphasised that carving for connection might be pushing people back into social spaces again. "I've started playing paddle, and through that, I've made new friends. So maybe, now, when you meet new people, something can happen. There's a possibility again," she went on.The 'Metro...In Dino' actor also shared about her experiences with dating apps. "Yes, I've been on Tinder and stuff. But people get awkward. They don't know what to say. I've gone on dates with people who aren't from the industry—it's a completely different world. So, to understand the emotion or the complexity that a public figure goes through, you need a very secure and a sorted man to understand that, " Fatima added.When asked if pretending to be in love on screen is easy or difficult, especially when one is single, the actor said, "Romantic scenes aren't easy. But honestly, nothing is. Whether it's action, anger, or love—if you're not feeling it truthfully, it just won't show. You have to believe it."She further said, "The moment you fake it, the audience will know. The camera catches everything; it's an intimate relationship, unlike theatre, where there's distance between performer and audience. Here, every expression shows. If you're vulnerable, it will be visible. If I'm feeling something, it'll show. So yeah, it's very difficult to achieve any emotion."Fatima was last seen in 'Aap Jaisa Koi' (2025), opposite R Madhavan, streaming on Netflix.She also played a key role in Anurag Basu's 'Metro...In Dino', co-starring Ali Fazal, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta and others. The film was released on July 4, 2025.- EndsMust Watch

Netflix's 'Aap Jaisa Koi' actress Fatima Sana Shaikh teams up with 'Saiyaara' star Aneet Padda for their next project: "There are huge plans to make..."
In an EXCLUSIVE interview with Firstpost, when Fatima Sana Shaikh too spoke on gender pay gap and for things to change, audiences need to accept women led films read more Netflix's 'Aap Jaisa Koi' actress Fatima Sana Shaikh who was also seen in Metro In Dino, is teaming up with Saiyaara fame Aneet Padda for a legal drama titled Nyaya that will be directed by Nitya Mehra and Karan Kapadia. A source told Bollywood Hungama, 'Aneet is a big screen heroine for YRF. Nyaya was shot before she signed Saiyaara and it has no bearing on her career trajectory as a theatrical heroine going forward. A girl who is delivering probably a Rs. 400 crores hit in theatres, is a true Gen Z star at the age of just 22, will be preserved for theatricals. There are huge plans to make her the face of a generation and that can be achieved only by consolidating her theatrical equity.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD About Fatima Sana Shaikh In an EXCLUSIVE interview with Firstpost, when Fatima Sana Shaikh too spoke on gender pay gap and for things to change, audiences need to accept women led films. She said, 'Finally, there are women who are asking for what they deserve, and that is commendable because to voice it and to even receive that was like a dream. And, you know, these are the women like Deepika Padukone who are paving paths for us so that tomorrow when we are in that position, we won't obviously think twice to get our due.' On working with Anurag Basu I didn't get to interact with other characters a lot. I largely interacted with Sara Khan and Ali Fazal that you've seen in the trailer also. So, I didn't unfortunately get to share the screen with all of these other actors that I'm a huge fan of. The best thing about Anurag (dada) is that you are not bound by the script and you know what you're getting into. So, you learn a lot when you go to the set. Even if there is a climax scene, even if there is a hectic scene, you come to know about it in the morning. And you just go with the flow. Whatever comes on your way, you just figure it out. You try to be as honest as possible. And that's what we all did, and there is, you know, significant fun in that too.

Last Updated: Fatima Sana Shaikh is thriving with Metro... In Dino and Aap Jaisa Koi. She posed with Tamannaah Bhatia amid rumours of dating her ex-boyfriend Vijay Varma. Fatima Sana Shaikh is basking in the glory of her two back-to-back releases — Anurag Basu's Metro… In Dino and Aap Jaisa Koi alongside R Madhavan. Apart from her work diaries, the actor's dating rumours with Gustakh Ishq co-star, Vijay Varma, have also been circulating online. Both Fatima and Vijay have chosen to stay silent on the matter. Amid this, Fatima shared multiple photos from India Couture Week, many of which featured Tamannaah Bhatia, Vijay's ex-girlfriend. 'Starting night with your stunning show, which was more like a party and then ending with stuffing my mouth with 2 plates of Rabdi this is what i call a perfect night," wrote Fatima Sana Shaikh, lauding fashion designer Manish Malhotra for India Couture Week. For the unversed, he is also producing Fatima and Sana's Gustakh Ishq. Some of the photos posted by the Chachi 420 actor featured Tamannaah Bhatia, rooting for Manish. Yet another photo in the carousel comprised of Fatima posing in the middle with Tamannaah and Shalini Passi on either sides. Take a look: Recent rumours have been swirling around actor Vijay Varma's love life once again. His dating speculations with Fatima began after the duo was spotted by paparazzi outside a Mumbai café, where they were seen laughing and sharing a warm hug — moments that quickly went viral on social media. The candid interaction has left fans curious about their equation, with many wondering if there's more than just friendship between them. While neither Vijay nor Fatima has addressed the dating rumours, social media is abuzz with assumptions that a new romance might be blossoming. Interestingly, the two actors are currently working together in an upcoming film titled Gustaakh Ishq, directed by Vibhu Puri. The film also stars veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah and The Family Man fame Sharib Hashmi in key roles. Notably, Gustaakh Ishq marks the third production venture under Manish Malhotra's Stage 5 Production, launched in September 2023. Before the rumours with Fatima, Vijay was in a well-documented relationship with Tamannaah Bhatia. The two featured together in Sujoy Ghosh's segment of Netflix's Lust Stories 2, which premiered in June 2023. Tamannaah confirmed their relationship around the same time in an interview with Film Companion, putting months of speculation to rest. However, the couple reportedly went their separate ways in March this year. A source told Pinkvilla that while they had broken up, their split was amicable. 'Tamannaah Bhatia and Vijay Varma parted ways weeks ago as a couple, but they plan to remain good friends. Both have been working hard in their respective schedules," the source shared. Later, Siasat Daily reported that the breakup was due to mounting pressure on Tamannaah to settle down. According to the outlet, the actress, now in her mid-30s, was ready for marriage and growing increasingly impatient, which allegedly led to frequent disagreements. However, News18 could not independently verify these claims. As for Vijay and Fatima, fans are keeping a close eye on what unfolds — both on and off the screen.
