Fatima Sana Shaikh On Thugs Of Hindostan Debacle: “I Was Dropped Out Of Films, Felt My Career Is Over”

After making a smashing debut with Aamir Khan led Dangal, Fatima Sana Shaikh’s career was expected to take off and it did happen as she bagged YRF’s Thugs Of Hindostan. The film had Aamir and Amitabh Bachchan in lead roles and the buzz was really high. But who could have ever imagined the disastrous run film witnessed during a festival like Diwali?

Made on an extremely high budget, the Vijay Krishna Acharya directorial fell like ninepins. And just like every other member associated with the magnum opus, Fatima too was badly impacted with an unexpected reception from critics and audience.

Speaking on the same, i.e. debacle of Thugs Of Hindostan, Fatima Sana Shaikh recently opened up about her insecurity during a chat with Pinkvilla. She stated that she felt her career was over with TOH failure. “Mujhe laga tha mera career khatam. I was dropped out of films. I was getting work but those were not the kind that I wanted to do. Either you have to do what you get or just hold back, so I held back. I decided that because it’s been tough to be part of this industry and I wanted to be in a position to choose. So I made the choice and I gave myself two years to make the kind of choices that I want to make. If those choices aren’t helping my career, then I’ll do whatever comes my way. Until then, I’ll only do what makes me happy. Bohut mushkil se launch aur entry mili hai, I’ll not let it go,” she quoted.
