Fatima Sana Shaikh Instagram – Last year, Fatima Sana Shaikh (@fatimasanashaikh) was a part of three very distinct love stories. In director Anurag Basu’s multi-narrative drama ‘Metro…In Dino’, she was one-half of a married couple struggling to decide between career and family. The easy-breezy, cross-cultural romcom ‘Aap Jaisa Koi’ was all about the progressive Madhu Bose finding love with the conservative Shrirenu Tripathi (played by R Madhavan). And, the lyrical period drama ‘Gustaakh Ishq’ had her playing a newbie poet. Of the three, the character she most easily identified with is Madhu. “She is someone who knows what she wants and needs. She is not going to compromise just because a man thinks that a woman should behave a certain way.”
