Reflecting on her journey, Fatima had said, "It's been 7 years since 'Dangal', a film that marked my debut in cinema and gave me happy tears, joy, and timeless memories. From âDangal' to âDhak Dhak' my film career has been a roller coaster ride of emotions with happiness, tears, joys and sorrows."
"Geeta Phogat will always hold a special place in my heart and I'm grateful for all the love this character received. Here's to seven years of stepping into her shoes, to the âDangal' family that made it possible and to the magic of this amazing film."
