Fatima has been credited to portray the shade of self-love and self-acceptance in 'Raat Rani.' Speaking about the same, Shonali said, "And actually that story, because I liked the Anne Hathaway story the most. It’s a valid question because it is a high standard to go for but I also agree with Nilesh that what Fatima has done is no less than what Anne Hathaway has done."
