Fatima Sana Shaikh on Thugs Of Hindostan failure: “It’s very heartbreaking”

Fatima Sana Shaikh impressed everyone with her excellent performance in Aamir Khan’s 2016 biographical wrestling drama Dangal where she played the character of wrestler Geeta Phogat. After the stupendous success of the film nationally and internationally, Shaikh signed Yash Raj Films’ magnum opus Thugs Of Hindostan.

The Vijay Krishna Acharya directorial reunited her with Dangal co-star Aamir Khan. The audience was thrilled to know that the two had teamed up again after Dangal and resultantly their expectations skyrocketed in no time.


However, when Thugs Of Hindostan entered theatres on 8th November, the movie failed to live up to the enormous expectations of the audience and sank without a trace. At a recent event, Aamir Khan took full responsibility for the failure of the movie. Katrina Kaif, who was seen in a blink-and-you-miss-it appearance in the flick, also expressed her disappointment over the failure of the mega-budgeted movie.

Now, when Fatima Sana Shaikh was asked the same question, she too shared that it was heartbreaking for her. "Yeah, it hasn’t done well. It is very heartbreaking. It is very sad because we all tried our best to make a good film. That’s what we tried to do. But unfortunately, the film didn’t work. People didn’t like it. I’m just feeling very bad about this," she said.

  • National honours, including a National Award and the Padma Shri, helped change her parents' perception of her career.

Looking back on the film that launched her career, the actor-politician revealed that her parents were more concerned about public opinion than the praise her performance received.
