Hey Fatima, Who Stole Your Smile?

Should actors be trained to walk on a ramp perfected by models? This question poses a challenge for many fashion choreographers.

While several talented models have turned out to be accomplished actors, there are successful actors who are not able to do justice to the runway.

But isn't it okay to not be perfect and yet own your personality?

When Fatima Sana Shaikh made her entry on the ramp, she initially looked like she struggled to walk in the heavily embroidered lehenga but then managed to pull it off with her confidence.

Take a look.
