Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra reveal Aamir Khan’s prankster avatar

These two pretty ladies are making no less noise than Aamir Khan, the man himself. It ain’t a cakewalk to look, move, act like wrestlers, especially if you haven’t done it ever before. Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra, Khan’s on-screen daughters, opened up in a candid chat with us. While they shared with us their journey towards becoming sports-persons in spirit and the majestic experience of working with Mr. perfectionist, we asked them about the much lighter moments from the sets.

To much of our surprise, it came out that Khan was a true prankster!

“One day, we all were sitting and playing Catan (Settlers of Catan, a type of board game). AK (Aamir Khan) came, saying ‘the coffee is so hot today’. I naturally thought he was sipping some hot coffee. Next, he sat behind me and poured the cup on my head. The cup was empty! But I freaked out! I was like, ‘oh shit, you burnt my head!”, a laughing Fatima said.

“It was recorded. You can hear Fatima screaming at the top of her voice,” giggled Sanya, as she added.

That sounds fun!

Also, we didn’t know Catan was Aamir’s favourite board game and he wanted everyone to learn it!

For the ones waiting to watch the biopic on wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat with bated breath, ‘Dangal’ hits the screens on December 23.
