Fatima Sana Shaikh has come a long way from being one of the most popular child actors to one of the most sought after and versatile actors in the Hindi film industry. Fatima made her acting debut as a child artist in Chachi 420 starring Kamal Haasan and Tabu, and also appeared in ‘One 2 Ka 4’ alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Juhi Chawla.
Years later, Fatima rose to fame with the film ‘Dangal’, which starred Aamir Khan and Sanya Malhotra. Everyone praised and appreciated Fatima’s performance as the popular wrestler Geeta Phogat in the film. After that there was no looking back for Fatima. The film was a commercial blockbuster, becoming the highest-grossing Indian film of all time in the world.
Today, as Fatima turns a year older, we take a look at her 5 best performances that made her one of the most loved and admired actors of Bollywood:
Aunt 420
Remember the cute little girl who played Kamal Haasan and Tabu’s daughter in ‘Chachi 420’? Apart from the film featuring several acting stalwarts, audiences remember the comedy-drama for this dimple-girl who attracted all the love and adoration at the time.
Dangal
Fatima chose a physically demanding and challenging role in Aamir Khan’s ‘Dangal’ as her debut performance, making the road less traveled. The 2016 sports drama film is widely regarded as Fatima’s best performance to date. She played the character of Geeta Phogat (2010 Commonwealth Games gold medalist) with a lot of grit and conviction. Fatima’s dedication, focus and perseverance for her role in the film brought her success in Bollywood.

Fatima’s performance as Pinky Jain in the film received praise from the audience, the film industry and critics alike. She had put in extra effort as her character required her to play the role of a mother, but of a ‘badass’ mother. She took pleasure in playing the different layers of her character – mother, wife and lover – showcasing her versatility as a prolific artist.
Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari
It was refreshing to see Fatima in the role of Tulsi, a Maharashtrian middle-class girl with an interesting cast that included Manoj Bajpayee, Supriya Pilgaonkar, Annu Kapoor and Diljit Dosanjh. The actress showcased her ability to play a variety of roles with the same vigor and flair.
Ajeeb Dastaans
According to Fatima, Lipakshi’s character in ‘Azeeb Dastaan’ provided her a steep learning curve. The actress was appreciated for her performance in the anthology as Majnu alongside Armaan Rahlan and Jaideep Ahlawat. She is in search of love after being forced into a loveless marriage with Jaideep’s character by her parents. Despite the fact that the actress has nothing in common with her character, she has done an excellent job portraying Lipakshi on screen.
She is currently going to play India’s first female Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in Vicky Kaushal’s Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw biopic ‘Sam Bahadur’.
