On December 23, 2016, Fatima Sana Shaikh embarked on a journey in the world of cinema and since then, people have seen her evolve, captivate, and redefine the essence of Bollywood. 7 years later, she's enjoying the success of Sam Bahadur in which she played the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. 

On the occasion of 7 years of Dangal, Fatima reflected on her journey and said, "It’s been 7 years since 'Dangal', a film that marked my debut in cinema and gave me happy tears, joy, and timeless memories. From Dangal to Dhak Dhak my film career has been a roller coaster ride of emotions with happiness, tears, joys and sorrows. Geeta Phogat will always hold a special place in my heart and I’m grateful for all the love this character received. Here’s to seven years of stepping into her shoes, to the Dangal family that made it possible and to the magic of this amazing film."

In the last 7 years, Fatima has acted in Ludo, Ajeeb Dastaan, Dhak Dhak and Sam Bahadur.
