\"Fatima Actor Fatima Sana Shaikh opened up about how new and supporting actors are often treated unfairly on Bollywood sets, especially if they don\u2019t come from film families. In a chat, she also shared that one of her co-stars once tried to steal the spotlight, even while they were shooting scenes together.When Fatima was asked about power dynamics in Bollywood and whether supporting actors are treated like \u2018second-grade\u2019 when a big star is on set, she told Humans of Bombay, \u201cIt hundred percent happens, nepotism exists in every industry. I have played character actors, I have played small actors, I\u2019ve experienced the difference. I am very mindful. If I\u2019m on a set and if there\u2019s somebody who\u2019s a character actor or fairly new, I\u2019m very respectful. That\u2019s my responsibility. I don\u2019t want anybody to experience what I have. In instances where I\u2019ve been made to feel small, I don\u2019t want to do the same to others. It\u2019s unnecessary to be badtameez (mannerless) to people.\u201dDuring the rapid-fire round, Fatima was asked if any co-star had ever given her a strange or ridiculous suggestion. She said that hadn\u2019t happened, but admitted she did work with a co-star who constantly tried to steal the limelight. \u201cI have had a co-actor who tried to make every scene about themselves. Every scene is written for a particular character, and if you make it about yourself, it makes the scene flat. It\u2019s irritating. When you\u2019re doing a scene and aap aise koni mar mar ke aage ja rahe ho (you\u2019re trying to elbow your way to the front). The scene isn\u2019t even yours,\u201d she said.She also unintentionally revealed that the co-star she was referring to was a woman.Fatima started her career as a child artist in movies like Ishq and Chachi 420. She made her debut as a lead actor in the 2008 film Tahaan. However, she rose to fame with the 2016 film Dangal, where she starred alongside Aamir Khan, Sanya Malhotra<\/a>, Zaira Wasim<\/a>, and Suhani Bhatnagar.The ‘Dangal’ star will soon be seen in ‘Metro… In Dino’, which is set to release in theatres on 4 July. She also has Gustaakh Ishq and Aap Jaisa Koi coming up. In Metro\u2026 In Dino, she shares the screen with Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Jalak Thacker, Konkona Sen Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi, Neena Gupta, and Anupam Kher<\/a>.<\/p>\n
