The pandemic has proved to be a curse for the film industry and many people had their works adversely affected due to it. However, this is not the case with actress Fatima Sana Sheikh. She had two successful OTT releases and also has a project or two currently in production. Since her debut in Aamir Khan's 'Dangal', Fatima has managed to bag a variety of roles and she recently revealed how she managed to do it. While most mainstream stars wait for filmmakers to approach them with potential scripts, Fatima doesn't shy away from approaching them first.

She said, "I do that to remind people that I exist. I don’t do a lot of films, so I am not always there. Kabhi kabhi log casting mein bhool jaate hain ki yeh bhi actor hai. It is very important to hustle. Until and unless you don’t fight for your space and your positioning, no one else will. If I have to call and remind someone that I am there and I don’t mind auditioning, it’s okay. It’s not a bad quality to have."

About her recent OTT films, Fatima said, “I am glad that people are getting to see my work. Eventually, you work to entertain people. Pandemic hai, things are shut, and I can’t be more grateful that people are able to see my work that I shot before the pandemic. I feel great that we have OTT platforms that are airing films, which are not able to release in theatres. We now have a new medium to connect with the audiences."
