The film also gave Bollywood two incredible actors, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra, who portrayed the roles of Aamir Khan’s daughters Geeta and Babita Phogat in the movie.

When asked if she was prepared to go out in the real world, without being backed by Aamir Khan’s guidance, she said, “I got the film only because of myself. I am thankful to be a part of this team. Everybody has been very supportive but I have had my journey full of struggles. I have given several auditions and have seen it all”.
She later continued, “I am very excited to experiment with roles and discover the world of cinema.”
