OCD Ice-breaker

Fatima revealed that her OCD became the ice-breaker. Fatima said: "When I get nervous, I start arranging things near me. So I was arranging the notebooks and pens on the table and Sanya came up to me and said, 'you have OCD? Even I have OCD'." And that was a start of their friendship.

Clicking Pictures at Aamir Khan's Place

Aamir Khan and Dangal director Nitesh Tiwari invited Sanya and Fatima to tell them they've been cast as Babita and Geeta Phogat. However, the girls thought that they'll get to hear the opposite, sothey started clicking pictures of Aamir Khan's home - of the television, sofa, everything.
