During a recent appearance on and Harssh Limbachiyaa's podcast, Fatima shared an interesting anecdote from her early career.

She reminisced about a particular scene from Ishq where Aamir's character dramatically runs toward Kajol, repeatedly shouting, "Mara, mara, mara." What most people missed was that Kajol was holding a small child in her arms-Fatima herself.
