Fatima Sana Shaikh is grabbing a lot of eyeballs these days ever since the trailers of Dangal started doing the rounds. The film is a real-life account of champion Indian wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat and his daughters, Geeta and Babita, who have also made India proud.
Fatima, who is making her debut, is playing Geeta Phogat while Aamir will be essaying the role of Mahavir. Sanya Malhotra, another debutant, is roped in to play the character of Babita. The two young actresses have been through rigorous training and shoot schedules with Aamir. But despite having the ok actor as a mentor, Shaikh is awestruck by none other than Shah Rukh Khan.

The young actress got a chance to starring with Shah Rukh in his 2002 film, One Two Ka Four when she was still a child actress. When she was asked whether she remembers much about the latter, she said, “I was so young. I barely remember what was going on around me. I only remember Shah Rukh Khan because he is the love of my life (smiles).
When it was pointed out to her that she is now starring in an Aamir film, she added, “I love Aamir Khan also.”
