Actress who nearly quit now internet’s new crush
We’re back with another actor story, this time featuring Wamiqa Gabbi. Starting her career at around 14 with a small role in Imtiaz Ali’s “Jab We Met,” Wamiqa Gabbi has now become the internet’s latest crush.
Born on September 29, 1993, into a Punjabi family in Chandigarh, Wamiqa debuted in “Jab We Met” as Kareena Kapoor Khan’s cousin. Her early breakthrough came with the Punjabi film “Tu Mera 22 Main Tera 22,” where she starred alongside Yo Yo Honey Singh and Amrinder Gill.
Wamiqa further established her career with roles in two films with Diljit Dosanjh and later appeared in major Bollywood projects like “83,” sharing the screen with Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh.
Like many actors, Wamiqa faced challenges in her career. In an interview with India Today, she revealed that she almost gave up acting due to a lack of fulfilling roles and a major setback when a Vishal Bhardwaj film she was cast in got shelved. Despite these obstacles, her determination paid off. Her performance in the web series “Jubilee” marked a turning point, earning her widespread recognition and turning her into a household name.
Wamiqa Gabbi is set to star in the upcoming film “Baby John” alongside Varun Dhawan. Directed by A. Kaleeswaran and produced by Murad Khetani, Priya Atlee, and Jyoti Deshpande, this action thriller also features Keerthy Suresh, Jackie Shroff, and Rajpal Yadav in pivotal roles.
From her early struggles to her current success, Wamiqa Gabbi’s journey in the film industry is truly inspiring. With her talent and perseverance, she has won the hearts of fans and continues to rise in Bollywood.
