Actor Fatima Sana Shaikh calls herself blessed for her last release Dhak Dhak. With the Tarun Dudeja film, she ticked off her dream to ride a motorcycle as the film revolves around four women who take on a bike journey to Khardung La. In an interview with Hindustan Times, Fatima revisits her memories from the making of the film.
The 31-year-old actor says, “I feel lucky to live my life through work, and got a chance to visit Khardung La. Every character adds value to my life and with Dhak Dhak, I have connected with all the women.” The film also stars Dia Mirza, Ratna Pathak Shah and Sanjana Sanghi. The film was wrapped up in 42 days, all the way from Delhi to Leh
Fatima Sana Shaikh recalls falling under the weather. “Sometimes the weather used to be problematic, and there were altitude problems as well. It really hit me hard. But, in the end, it was worth it, it turned out to be a good film.
The film brings together women across all age groups, as represented by Fatima, Dia, Ratna, and Sanjana. The Dangal girl shares her biggest takeaway from her co-stars, “We enjoyed doing the scenes together and I feel age doesn’t matter here. Women connect irrespective of age. I have felt the biggest connection with Ratna and Dia, mostly with Dia. Sanjana is a sweet and very hard-working girl.
Dia is everyone’s crush. To be honest, she is a beautiful person inside and out. Beyond acting, she is an activist. She talks about it. When you meet her there’s an aura that she carries… it’s almost like pari zameen par aa gayi. But, yehi sanch hain (It’s almost like she is a fairy from the heavens).
