Bollywood star Fatima Sana Sheikh, who is essaying the
character of wrestling champion gold medallist Geeta Phogat in Aamir
Khan-starrer "Dangal", tells she now loves the sport and
understands it better after she went through intense training to shoot the movie.
Fatima revealed, "I have always been a movie buff and
had no interest in any games and sports. I do not even watch cricket, which is
one of the favourite games of most of my friends. However, I have become a
wrestling fan after 'Dangal'. As an audience, I watch the game sitting at the
edge of the seat and scream as if I am in it.
"I get excited while watching any wrestling match
now.", further added Fatima.
The actress went through eight months of training as part of
her preparation to play Geeta's character in the film.
Starting her career with the movie "Chachi 420" as
baby girl Bharti, Fatima has acted in numerous television series and has
featured in small roles in movies like "Tahaan", "Bittoo
Boss" and "Akaash Vani", among others, before getting her big
break with "Dangal".
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, "Dangal" is releasing
on December 23.
