Fatima
Sana
Shaikh:
Fatima
Sana
Shaikh
has
made
a
mark
for
herself
by
taking
on
challenging
and
unconventional
roles.
From
playing
a
young
mother
in
the
dark
comedy
'Ludo'
to
portraying
a
woman
trapped
in
a
loveless
marriage
in
'Ajeeb
Daastaans,'
Fatima's
career
is
a
testament
to
her
dedication
to
her
craft.
Her
upcoming
role
as
India's
former
Prime
Minister,
Indira
Gandhi,
in
'Sam
Bahadur'
alongside
Vicky
Kaushal
is
her
most
challenging
yet.
In
a
recent
interview,
Fatima
opens
up
about
her
choice
of
roles
and
the
allure
of
layered
characters.
"Layered
characters
challenge
me.
I
am
subconsciously
drawn
to
them.
I
was
not
even
sure
if
I
was
the
right
fit
(to
play
Mrs
Gandhi)
.
My
brief
was
not
to
emulate
Mrs
Gandhi,
but
to
capture
her
soul".
Fatima
is
no
stranger
to
embracing
complex
and
multi-dimensional
characters.
Throughout
her
career,
she
has
consistently
chosen
roles
that
challenge
her
as
an
actor.
From
the
tortured
wife
in
'Thar'
to
the
determined
Kashmiri
girl
in
'Modern
Love:
Mumbai,'
Fatima
has
proven
her
ability
to
inhabit
diverse
roles
with
authenticity
and
depth.
Her
upcoming
project,
'Sam
Bahadur,'
where
she
will
step
into
the
shoes
of
India's
first
female
Prime
Minister,
Indira
Gandhi,
is
arguably
her
most
daunting
role
to
date.
Apart
from
her
much-anticipated
role
in
'Sam
Bahadur,'
Fatima
will
also
be
seen
in
'Metro
In
Dino,'
adding
to
her
already
impressive
lineup
of
diverse
characters.
Her
willingness
to
explore
and
conquer
a
wide
range
of
roles
showcases
her
versatility
and
her
commitment
to
entertain
audiences.
