Fatima Sana Shaikh’s non-negotiables in relationships: “I need my partner to be around me as much as possible” : Bollywood News

Fatima Sana Shaikh has opened up about the complexities of love and emotional intimacy in a candid interview with Cosmopolitan, offering an honest glimpse into how she navigates relationships.

Fatima Sana Shaikh’s non-negotiables in relationships: “I need my partner to be around me as much as possible”Speaking about her emotional needs, the actor admitted that she feels deeply and intensely. “I need to share my every thought, emotion and beat with my partner and expect the same from them,” she revealed. For Fatima, connection is rooted in constant communication and transparency. She thrives on emotional exchange and values being fully involved in her partner’s inner world.

However, she also recognises that such intensity can sometimes become overwhelming. “This can be stifling, so I am learning to wait for the person to share what they want at their own pace,” she added. The admission reflects a growing self-awareness — understanding that while vulnerability is important, it must coexist with space and individuality. Instead of demanding immediate openness, she is consciously working on patience and allowing relationships to unfold naturally.

Fatima also described herself as someone who expresses love physically. “I am physically a very affectionate person, which also means that I need my partner to be around me as much as possible,” she said. Physical proximity and touch, for her, are essential components of feeling secure and connected. Whether it’s small gestures or simply sharing the same space, affection plays a significant role in how she experiences love.

On the work front, Fatima was last seen in the acclaimed romantic drama Gustaakh Ishq. The film, which was directed by Vibhu Puri, was an old-school romance where the actress was paired opposite Vijay Varma while it also starred the legendary Naseeruddin Shah in a pivotal role. The movie was produced by the ace fashion designer Manish Malhotra.
