While Aamir Khan played these two girls father in the film, Fatima played Geeta, and Sanya, the youngest, Babita. Impressed with their action skills in the film, they both have won Action awards at the prestigious fourth annual Jackie Chan Film Action Movie Week, which was held during the Shanghai Film Festival.
The award ceremony was held in Datong, China, and the two girls made it to the event and had a fan moment when they met renowned action superstar Jackie Chan. Both, Fatima and Sanya posed with the star for a picture and shared it on their respective social media accounts. Sanya, who won 'Best New Action Award' posted the image with her million dollar smile and captioned, "Met a legend who's so humble, gracious and hospitable. Thank you so much @jackiechan for having us at #jackiechanactionmovieweek . Looking forward to watch the closing ceremony and especially the performance by your team #jackiechan#dangal (sic)."
