I watched Fanney Khan and I was very touched by Lata's story. Even I have gone through body shaming and I couldn't stop myself from making this video. Thank you Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra for choosing this topic. It means a lot to young girls like me. @RakeyshOmMehra @fanneykhanfilm pic.twitter.com/OSzzaYBiIc

Fanney Khan revolves around the story of Anil Kapoor and his on-screen daughter Lata Sharma played by Pihu Sand who is an aspirational singer but bound by the society as she is fat shamed at every step in her life.
Resonating with Pihu Sand's character in the film, Alina said, "She is also fat, I am also fat, there is a huge social pressure which fat girls have to go through these days where she is said you can't do certain things because you are fat, you can't wear nice clothes, but actually, we can do it."
She also expressed her views on the song 'Tere Jaisa Tu Hai', saying, "I really liked the song, girls in today's generation can sing this and tell the world that I can do things my way, you do it your way."
Thanking Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra for the film, Alina admitted being a fan of the filmmaker and his films.
Touched by the girl's message, Rakesyh Omprakash Mehra replied to the fan saying, " This means a lot to me and my team @ROMPPictures. Thank you 🙏 ".

Delivering one of the most relevant and memorable patriotic films of the industry, the filmmaker presented a contemporary take on revolution in Rang De Basanti.
Bhag Milkha Bhag further evoked the patriotic feeling amongst the audience as Rakeysh Mehra brought to screen the life of sports legend Milkha Singh.
The recent release of Rakeysh Mehra's ROMP Fanney Khan revolved around the father-daughter relationship wherein the father struggles hard to fulfill the dreams of his aspirational singer daughter.
A one of its kind musical entertainer, Fanney Khan revolves around the bond between the father and daughter with a pinch of comedy and drama.
