There are moments when an actor doesn’t need words to make an impression, presence alone does the magic. Fatima Sana Shaikh created one such moment as she stepped out for the promotions of her upcoming period drama Gustaakh Ishq. Even before the film’s trailer stirred up feelings of romance and longing, her appearance became a quiet, graceful introduction to that very world.
Fatima chose a delicate Manish Malhotra saree that perfectly captured the soft glow of the film’s romantic theme. She looked gentle and shy, carrying the elegance of an era gone by, and her ensemble set a beautiful tone for the beginning of the movie’s press tour. Her styling felt like a nod to classic cinema—calm, poetic, and full of warmth.
Adding to the charm was her pairing with co-star Vijay Varma. While whispers about their off-screen equation had made the rounds earlier, the two appeared in matching Manish Malhotra outfits, creating a captivating visual harmony. Whether or not there’s truth to the rumours, their presence together brought a natural chemistry that fans immediately noticed.
Fatima’s look blended passion with poetry. Her hair fell in soft waves, her makeup was kept minimal with gentle pink lips, and her winged eyeliner added a touch of vintage glamour. She completed the look with a three-strand rice pearl ear chain and a few delicate rings, enhancing the timeless feel of her outfit.
With this appearance, Fatima didn’t just promote her film—she invited audiences into its universe of love and longing, one graceful step at a time.
