Actress Fatima Sana Shaikh is making headlines for her back-to-back releases scheduled in the coming months, from Metro In Dino to Aap Jaisa Koi. But it’s not the only thing that’s making her a hot topic of discussion in the gossip circles. For the past few days, rumours have been circulating about her alleged link-up with actor Vijay Varma, following the latter’s split from Tamannaah Bhatia. While Fatima has quashed the buzz, she recently opened up about how such chatter initially affected her.
Fatima Sana Shaikh shares how fake news about her personal life affected her
In a conversation with Hindustan Times, Fatima Sana Shaikh opened up about the baseless gossip that often circulates on social media about her personal life. The Metro In Dino actress shared how, despite trying not to pay heed to such chatter, it occasionally affects her, leaving her wondering about the unwarranted interest in her private life, but again, she realises that it’s not that important. She was quoted as saying:
“It affects at one point. Initially, it did. But then I realised it’s not that important, because someone thinks about someone else for just one second. After that, they are thinking about themselves. ‘Who is thinking about me?’ is what most people wonder.”
Recently, Fatima’s dating life has become a topic of discussion on various online discussion platforms, especially Reddit and Instagram. She has been linked to Vijay Varma after some pictures of them surfaced on the internet. However, she doesn’t pay heed to such topics, as over the years, she has mastered the art of blocking out the noise. The actress shared:
“I have realised this. Woh Instagram ya Reddit par type kar lega ‘oh iski life me yeh chal raha hai’. But eventually, he is also worried about his own life. I don’t give that much importance now.”
Fatima Shaikh clears the air around her relationship status
Fatima Sana Shaikh recently attended the trailer launch of her upcoming film Aap Jaisa Koi, where she addressed the ongoing speculation about her relationship status. When asked directly at the event if she was seeing someone, the actress confirmed that she is currently single.
In a light-hearted moment, Fatima was also asked if she had found someone in real life who matched her on-screen love interest. Laughing, she replied that such ideal men only exist in movies, but certainly not in her personal life. With this candid response, she effectively shut down all rumours linking her to actor Vijay Varma. In her words:
“Acche ladke hai hi nai yaar.. Koi bhi nahi hai (meri life mein) Filmon mein acche hote hai.”
Fatima Sana Shaikh’s upcoming movies
Fatima has a busy schedule with a lineup of movies ahead. She is one of the main cast in Anurag Basu’s Metro In Dino, where she will be seen opposite Ali Fazal. The film is scheduled to release in theatres on July 4, 2025. It will soon be followed by her next film, Aap Jaisa Koi, co-starring R Madhavan, which is slated to air on Netflix on July 11, 2025.
