By sharing her coping mechanisms, Fatima inspired her audience to approach the disorder with resilience and a positive mindset.
When someone asked about dealing with epilepsy, Fatima shared valuable insights into her routine, stating, 'I just take my meds. Follow up with my neurologist, workout, mostly eat clean and laugh.'

Fatima also addressed queries from followers dealing with family members suffering from epilepsy. In response to one such question about supporting a sibling, she advised, 'Ask him what he needs. Like for me, my family and friends are my safe space. If I am with them, I will be safe if I get an episode. And I’ll be taken care of. And if they are confused, they ask me. They don’t treat me differently. Bas, try to be his safe space.'
In a light-hearted moment, a follower inquired about how Fatima handles stress, to which she responded in a quirky manner, saying, 'Naach ke!' This playful response showcases the actor's ability to maintain a positive outlook, even in challenging situations.
