Fatima Sana Shaikh dating Vijay Varma? Actress reacts to rumours
Bollywood actor Fatima Sana Shaikh opened up about her personal life during a recent promotion of her upcoming film. She was at the trailer launch event of her film Aap Jaisa Koi when asked about her love life. Recent reports have linked Fatima with actor Vijay Varma, sparking their dating rumours.
Vijay Varma was previously dating actor Tamannaah Bhatia. However, they have now parted ways for reasons unknown.
Amid the fresh dating speculations, Fatima was asked whether she had found someone new in her life.
India Today quoted her replying, "No one is there. No good guys. They exist only in films."
On the other hand, Vijay is yet to react to the rumours.
The event was also attended by R Madhavan who is starring opposite Fatima in Aap Jaisa Koi.
Referring to the film, Fatima was also asked about her idea of romance. She said, "The idea of equality of love is where two people respect each other, and they will listen to each other and won't deny it. I think that is an equal relationship now, and compromises need to be made by both. When you come into a partnership, you work towards the relationship without losing yourself. I think that is the way to have a successful relationship."
Aap Jaisa Koi is a romantic drama, focusing on two people from different cultures who fall in love.
Talking about working with R Madhavan, Fatima also said, "I liked the story of the film, it's an honest story. I've never played a layered character like this in a love story. Who wouldn't want to work with Madhavan? I was so excited about working with Madhavan."
Aap Jaisa Koi is directed by Vivek Soni. It is produced by Karan Johar's Dharmatic Entertainment.
Beside R Madhavan and Fatima in the lead, the film also stars Ayesha Raza, Manish Chaudhari, and Namit Das in key roles. It will see an OTT release.
It will stream online on Netflix, starting on July 11.

David Fincher set to direct 'Squid Game' spin-off for Netflix, with filming slated for December: Reports
Acclaimed director David Fincher is reportedly attached to direct 'Squid Game' spin-off series based on the wildly successful South Korean survival drama, 'Squid Game'. According to industry sources, the project is being developed at Netflix with production eyeing a December 2025 start date. Unlike a direct remake, 'Squid Game' spin-off will not retell the events of the original but will instead expand the established universe, delving deeper into the mythology surrounding the deadly contest that captivated global audiences. The spin-off is described as a narrative continuation, building on themes of desperation, systemic cruelty, and voyeuristic spectacle that made the original series a cultural phenomenon. Dennis Kelly, best known for creating the British cult thriller 'Utopia', is said to be handling the writing duties. His background in twisted conspiracies and bleakly comic social commentary makes him a fitting choice for the dark world of 'Squid Game'. While it remains unconfirmed whether Fincher will direct the entire series or select episodes, his involvement alone has sent expectations soaring. Hints about the series' existence have surfaced before, with speculation gaining ground after Cate Blanchett made a cryptic cameo that many now view as a narrative handoff. Blanchett previously worked with Fincher on 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button', and her potential return has fuelled fan theories about a deeper intertextual thread. Fincher, known for his chilling psychological narratives such as 'Fight Club', 'Se7en', 'Gone Girl', and 'Mindhunter', appears to be a natural fit for the dystopian franchise. His potential to bring a sharp, morally unflinching lens to the spin-off has only intensified interest. Netflix has yet to make an official announcement, but with production timelines taking shape and industry insiders confirming the creative team, 'Squid Game' looks poised to be one of the most anticipated releases on the streaming platform.
