Fatima Sana Shaikh made her Bollywood debut through Aamir Khan starrer Dangal and it was a huge hit. Then she went on to do another film with him which was Thugs of Hindostan which was a dud. However, amid this, what went viral were the rumors of their alleged affair. The tabloids and publications were filled with reports and blind items hinting that the duo was allegedly dating. However, Fatima has spoken about it finally. Rajkummar Rao Does a ‘Mithun-Da’ in the First Look of His Anurag Basu Film With Fatima Sana Shaikh – View Pic.

Speaking with a magazine, she said, “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.”

There were also rumors that she was the reason for the rift between Aamir and his wife Kiran Rao. However, responding to that as well, she replied, “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.”

Earlier, it was also said that she was roped in into the Rakesh Sharma biopic on Aamir Khan’s recommendations, in which he too was supposed to star. However, later as he backed out, Fatima’s name was still in the buzz. Now that it is Vicky Kaushal’s name that is in the run for the role, we wonder whether she is very much a part of it or all that was a part of the rumors too!
