Maryam Aurangzeb, who is now a senior minister in the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN) in Punjab, said she had just become the information minister when 'Dangal' was released. 'Yes, if there is one regret that I have when I was the Federal Information Minister, it was banning the screening of 'Dangal' in Pakistan,' Aurangzeb said on a popular podcast. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'It was my first meeting with the censor board representatives and information ministry people and they recommended a ban on screening of the film giving some reasons for this,' she added. Aurangzeb said she approved the ban though she had not seen the film. In those days, the government allowed the release of Indian films in Pakistan. 'One and half year later, I got a chance to see the film and I realised my decision to approve the ban was wrong. It was a film which was inspirational for our girls and was close to home,' she said. Though Indian films and actors remain hugely popular in Pakistan, the government has placed a ban on their screening in the country since 2019. Indian films were screened in Pakistani cinemas between 2008 to 2019 and did excellent business. Since the ban, dozens of cinema houses have gone out of business and are struggling to survive on Hollywood movies as the production quality of Pakistani films remains very low.

She disclosed experiencing "multiple seizures" and shared, "I got a seizure on flight and then I was taken to the airport hospitals. They gave me anti epileptic IV. Even then, my seizures wouldn't stop. Then I was taken to the hospital, and then they gave me a very strong dose." Further, the actress gave information about being diagnosed with epilepsy and said, "I was on different chemicals." She explained that chemicals added to the body need to be weaned off so that other chemicals can take effect. Fatima added, "I was so drugged out", and recalled shooting for 2 films at that time. The Metro In Dino actor continued, "I had to cancel shoots. One of the guy called me and asked if I could shoot, and I cried because I couldn't get out of my bed. I was constantly drugged out. My emotions were all over the place." Fatima emphasised how she then accepted that it is her "reality" and mentioned having conversations about it with her doctors, which is helping her to deal with it.
