Fatima Sana Shaikh, who is best known for her portrayal of wrestler Geeta Phogat in Dangal, recently surprised fans by revealing that her first film with Aamir Khan wasn’t the 2016 sports drama but actually Ishq, released in 1997. While Dangal cemented her place in the industry, few know that she had already shared screen space with Aamir as a child artist in the romantic comedy.
Aamir Khan says he considers “Dangal”, the blockbuster 2016 sports drama, the finest film of his career, even though there was a single shot where he slipped out of character.
The actor, who played the role of Mahavir Singh Phogat in the Nitesh Tiwari-directed movie, said it was megastar Amitabh Bachchan who immediately noticed the flaw in his performance.
“It is difficult for me to say which is my favourite film. ‘Dangal’ is my best-acted film. There is only one shot in the film, which I did wrong, and Mr Amitabh Bachchan is so sharp that he got that shot. I asked him, ‘How did you find the film?’ and he said, ‘Very good but in one shot you were out of character.’
