Bollywood Star Fatima Sana Shaikh Reflects on Emotional Disconnect in Social Life

In a recent interview, Bollywood actor Fatima Sana Shaikh shared her candid thoughts on love and relationships in the modern world. Despite the emotional disconnect she observes in today's social life, Fatima believes love is still as special as ever. She acknowledges the challenges of modern dating, noting that people often say they don't want commitment, but deep down, they still crave a partner and the ability to surrender to love.

Fatima expressed concern over the lack of in-person interactions and community feeling, stating, "We're not going out anymore. We stay in, watch content alone, and that community feeling is missing. Where do we even meet people now?" However, she believes the desire for connection might be pushing people back into social spaces, as evidenced by her own experience of making new friends through activities like playing paddle.

The actor also shared her experiences with dating apps, noting that people can often feel awkward and unsure of what to say, especially when the potential partner is a public figure. Fatima emphasized the importance of finding a "very secure and a sorted man" who can understand the complexities that come with being a celebrity.

When it comes to portraying romantic scenes on screen, Fatima acknowledged the difficulty, stating that it requires a genuine emotional connection. "If you're not feeling it truthfully, it just won't show. You have to believe it," she said, adding that the camera can capture every expression, making it challenging to fake any emotion.
