Last Updated: Fatima Sana Shaikh stuns in a sultry photoshoot donning a black bralette and unbuttoned jeans. Bollywood actress Fatima Sana Shaikh has set social media ablaze with her latest photoshoot, where she channels an effortlessly bold and chic vibe. Known for her versatile performances and striking screen presence, Fatima showcased a different side of her personality in these stylish frames, leaving fans mesmerised. Fatima's sultry photoshoot look In the pictures, Fatima is seen sporting a classic black Calvin Klein bralette paired with relaxed-fit, unbuttoned denim jeans.

The minimalist backdrop makes her outfit and poses the focal point, amplifying the raw, sultry energy of the shoot. The casual yet daring styling brings out a balance of boldness and simplicity that reflects Fatima's off-screen personality. Speaking up against stereotypes Alongside her photoshoot buzz, Fatima opened up during her Filmfare interview about how female roles in Bollywood are often stereotyped. After her breakthrough role in Dangal, she revealed being offered several 'empowered" roles, but most carried the cliché of aggressive women who 'hate men." 'When people think of strong women, they think of aggressive women. I don't know why! Just because we know what we want and we voice for equality does not mean we will fight with men, or we want to fight, or we want to smoke a cigarette. The idea is very stereotypical," Fatima explained. She added that empowerment should not always be portrayed through aggression, but through authenticity, intelligence, and individuality.
