My Take
What earns my respect for Fatima Sana Shaikh is the long apprenticeship behind her breakthrough. A child performer in films like Chachi 420, she put in years before transforming herself into wrestler Geeta Phogat for Dangal, a role she committed to physically and completely. That the film became the highest-grossing Hindi movie of all time tells you how much weight she was carrying. I trust actors who will live a sports story in their own muscle rather than fake it, and knowing she persisted for so long before that moment of glory makes the achievement land even harder for me.
