Fatima reveals the truth behind link up rumors with Aamir
What's the story
When Fatima Sana Shaikh made her debut with Dangal (2016), she took the industry by storm. Her acting in the Aamir Khan-starrer did stun all, but it was her off-screen camaraderie with Aamir that raised eyebrows. This got pronounced when she appeared in Thugs Of Hindostan, sparking rumors of an affair between them. However, Fatima lashed out saying these rumors disturb her.

'They don't even know if there's any truth to it'
Addressing the rumors, Fatima told Filmfare that these reports have no truth in them. "Earlier, I used to get affected. Because I've never dealt with anything of this sort at such a big level," she said. Further, the idea of 'bunch of strangers' writing things about her used to unnerve her. "They don't even know if there's any truth to it," Fatima emphasized.
