Fatima Sana Shaikh Back on Her Bullet: From Dhak Dhak Mountains to Ladakh’s Nerve-Wracking Nights

Bollywood actress Fatima Sana Shaikh is once again proving her love for the open road and powerful bikes. After charming audiences with her biker avatar in Dhak Dhak (2023), the actress recently hopped back onto her Royal Enfield and shared the thrill (and fear!) of riding in Ladakh’s rugged terrain.

Fatima’s Heartfelt Note on Riding Again

Taking to Instagram, Fatima revealed that this was her first bike ride in ages, recalling how the last time she properly rode was during the Dhak Dhak shoot in the mountains.

She described the ride as equal parts peaceful and terrifying:

• She chased sunsets but missed them twice.

• Rode till night fell — despite not being a “confident rider.”

• Battled cold fingers, blinding headlights, massive trucks, and pitch-dark roads.

Yet, despite calling it “nerve-wracking,” Fatima admitted the journey was “bohot mazza” and a reminder of why she loves riding in the first place.

Why Fans Are Loving It

Fans immediately connected with her raw honesty. In an industry where stars often project only polished perfection, Fatima’s candid note about being scared yet enjoying the ride makes her highly relatable. Many riders in India echoed her emotions — “It’s scary but addictive.”

Her post also stirred nostalgia for Dhak Dhak, the road-trip film that celebrated women bikers and adventurous spirit.

What’s Next for Fatima Sana Shaikh

On the work front, Fatima is gearing up for her upcoming film Gustaakh Ishq – Kuch Pehle Jaisa, directed by Vibhu Puri and produced by Manish Malhotra under Stage5 Production.

Set in Purani Dilli’s crowded lanes and the fading kothis of Punjab, the film promises a poetic blend of passion, unspoken desire, and old-world romance — a different ride altogether from her Ladakh adventure.
