Bangs Make a Comeback

Hey there, Bollywood buffs! Gather ’round, because your favorite snoop, Bollywood Newshound Nisha, is back with more juicy tidbits!

So, let’s dive right into the latest hot gossip, shall we? Our darling Fatima Sana Shaikh, who clearly knows how to keep things fresh, just dropped a major style bomb on us. This Thursday, she sashayed back into our lives with a bang—literally. Sporting a chic new hairstyle, she announced "bangs are back" on her Instagram Stories. Yes, folks, the 32-year-old stunner took a lift selfie (because, why not?) and gave us all a peek at her new fringe. Decked out in a black tank top, blue jeans, and casually holding an olive green shirt, she looked every bit the trendsetter. And that caption? Simply: "And the bangs are back." We see you, Fatima! 💇‍♀️✨

Now, for those of you who’ve been living under a rock, let’s rewind a bit. Fatima’s journey in Bollywood began as a wee child artist in the 1997 film Ishq. Remember that one? Directed by Indra Kumar, it starred Aamir Khan, Ajay Devgn, Juhi Chawla, and Kajol. Not too shabby for a debut, huh? But wait, there’s more. She also played Bharti Ratan in Chachi 420, directed by Kamal Haasan. Yep, the one with the hilarious cross-dressing shenanigans. Throw in roles in Bade Dilwala, Khoobsurat, and One 2 Ka 4, and you’ve got a pretty solid child artist resume.

Fast forward to 2016, and Fatima catapulted to fame with her portrayal of wrestler Geeta Phogat in the blockbuster Dangal. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Aamir Khan, this one was a game-changer. Aamir played Mahavir Singh Phogat, and Sanya Malhotra joined as Babita Phogat. With Dangal, Fatima proved she could throw punches both in the ring and at the box office.

But she didn’t stop there. Remember Thugs of Hindostan? Or how about Bittoo Boss, Akaash Vani, Ludo, Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari, Ajeeb Daastaans, Thar, and Dhak Dhak? Yep, she’s been on a roll. Most recently, she played the iconic Indira Gandhi in Sam Bahadur, a biopic on Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, directed by Meghna Gulzar. With Vicky Kaushal in the lead, and Sanya Malhotra, Neeraj Kabi, and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub in tow, it was quite the ensemble cast.

And what’s next for our versatile queen? She’s got Metro… In Dino and Ul Jalool Ishq lined up. Keep your popcorn ready, folks!

Nisha’s Nutshell:
So, what’s the takeaway from all this? In Bollywood, you either evolve or dissolve. And if you’re Fatima Sana Shaikh, you do it with bangs and a whole lot of sass. 💁‍♀️✨

Stay fabulous, stay snarky, and remember—if you want to keep up with the stars, you’ve got to keep an eye on the Newshound! 🐾✨
