In the pictures, the 25-year-old is seen relaxing by the beach with the sea filling the background. The pictures went viral in no time and people started trolling her saying she has insulted Muslims by posting revealing clothes during the Holy month of Ramadan. However, the actress also got a lot of support from several fans.

Fatima was in news recently when she was roped in for Aamir's Thugs of Hindostan. In an interview with IANS, Fatima said "getting Thugs Of Hindostan was as difficult as Dangal. I had to go through multiple rounds of auditions till I got the film. So, we can do several films, but every film will be like a first - at least it is so for me because you start from scratch."

Thugs of Hindostan deals with pirates. Rumour has it that the storyline of the film is quite fascinating and is along the lines of Pirates of the Caribbean. To be directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya, Thugs of Hindostan also stars Amitabh Bachchan and Katrina Kaif besides Aamir and Fatima. The film is set to be released on Diwali 2018.
