Having played daughter to Aamir Khan in Dangal, Fatima Sana Shaikh is now keen to share screen space with her original reel daddy, Kamal Haasan. The fresh-faced actress was only five when she acted with the south superstar in the 1997 film Chachi 420 as his little girl, Bharti, but hardly has any memories of her first acting experience.

"I don't remember much about working with Kamal Haasan sir as I was too small. I remember I had great time. As a child you are innocent, you don't think about acting, you are just there and do it," Fatima told PTI.

After the film, Fatima went on to appear in various television series and also did bit roles in films like 'Tahaan' (2008), 'Bittoo Boss' (2012) and 'Akaash Vani' (2013). "I wish I remembered more about the experience with him. Now, if I work with him, I will be more attentive, analyse everything... I hope I get to work with him," she said.
Fatima, who played the role of wrestler Geeta Phogat in the sports drama, said she wants to imbibe many qualities from co-star Aamir. "His intelligence, understanding of cinema, the kind of human being he is. He is so passionate about his work and pays attention to details. Even if I imbibe 10 per cent of it, it will make a great difference to my professional and personal life. I look up to him," she added. The actress asserted that she is open to do all kinds of films and take up roles that are exciting and challenging.
