Who is Wamiqa Gabbi?
Wamiqa Gabbi is one of Indian cinema’s most genuinely pan-India actresses — a performer who has built a remarkable career across Punjabi, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam films over nearly two decades. Born on September 29, 1993 in Chandigarh, Punjab into a creative family — her father Govardhan Gabbi is a well-known Hindi-Punjabi writer and her mother Raj Kumari is an educationist — Wamiqa was drawn to performance from childhood. She made her first on-screen appearance at the age of just 8 in a Punjabi TV serial, and her film debut at 13 in Imtiaz Ali’s iconic romantic drama Jab We Met (2007) — playing Kareena Kapoor’s cousin in a small but memorable role. She completed her schooling at St. Xavier’s School, Chandigarh and graduation from DAV College, Chandigarh.
She rose steadily through Punjabi cinema with films like Tu Mera 22 Main Tera 22 (2013) and Nikka Zaildar 2, earned South Indian recognition with the Malayalam wrestling drama Godha (2018), and broke into the OTT space with critically acclaimed web series — Grahan (Disney+ Hotstar, 2021), Jubilee (Prime Video, 2023) and Charlie Chopra (SonyLIV). Her Khufiya (2023) performance — directed by Vishal Bhardwaj — won her the Filmfare OTT Award for Best Supporting Actress. In 2024 she starred in Baby John with Varun Dhawan. In 2026 she is part of the most exciting projects of her career — Bhooth Bangla with Akshay Kumar and the Netflix dark fantasy Rakt Brahmand directed by Raj & DK.
Wamiqa Gabbi enters 2026 with her biggest slate ever — Bhooth Bangla (Akshay Kumar’s horror comedy, released May 2026), Rakt Brahmand: The Bloody Kingdom on Netflix (directed by Raj & DK, starring alongside Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Aditya Roy Kapur), DC (Tamil, opposite Lokesh Kanagaraj), Shiddat 2, TikiTaka (Malayalam) and more. 2026 is shaping up to be the year she crosses from “critically acclaimed” to mainstream pan-India superstar.
