I made her meet mom and dad and narrated her a few stories to tell her how beautiful a part of my childhood she has been. Love you so much @madhuridixitnene".
This is the first time Wamiqa has spoken up about her deep admiration for the actress, who has been the favourite of an entire generation of millennials.
Earlier in March, Wamiqa Gabbi marked 1 year of release of her fantasy romantic comedy, 'Bhool Chuk Maaf' with a special ride in an e-rickshaw. Commemorating the milestone, Wamiqa uploaded a clip on her official Instagram handle where she is seen dressed as a bride, traveling in an auto, and telling everyone on the way that today is her wedding day.
She wrote in the caption. "Ek saal pehle aap sab ne humari shaadi me shaamil hoke humko itna pyaar diya! Usske liye shukriya! Kuch BHOOL CHUK hogayi ho toh MAAF kardijiye ga (sic)".
Made under the direction of Karan Sharma, 'Bhool Chuk Maaf' has been backed by Dinesh Vijan under the banner of Maddock Films, along with Amazon MGM Studios. The film also starred Rajkummar Rao, and Seema Pahwa, Sanjay Mishra, Zakir Hussain, Raghubir Yadav, Ishtiyak Khan, Purnima Sharma, Anubha Fatehpuria, and Vineet Kumar.
The film follows the story of Ranjan (played by Rajkummar), a small-town boy from Banaras who gets a government job to marry the love of his life Titli (Played by Wamiqa). However, he ends up forgetting a crucial vow to Lord Shiva, which traps him in a time loop.
The actress will be next seen in 'G2' opposite Adivi Sesh.

I remember watching Madhuri's movies with my mom - she's the ultimate Indian icon. But honestly, sometimes these star meetings feel a bit staged for Instagram. Still, nice moment for Wamiqa.
Madhuri Dixit is the only person who can make 'Dhak Dhak Karne Laga' still look fresh after 30 years! Wamiqa is lucky, but I hope she focuses more on her craft than these publicity moments. Talent speaks louder than selfies.
Aahh this is so cute! As a 90s kid, Madhuri was our ultimate crush. Wamiqa's parents must be so proud. Really happy for her - these are the moments that make Bollywood special. ✨
Madhuri is the epitome of grace. But let's be real - Wamiqa's 'Bhool Chuk Maaf' was a forgettable film. She needs better scripts if she wants to reach Madhuri's level. Just saying.
So heartwarming! Madhuri is like the 'didi' of every Indian household. Wamiqa's joy is contagious. I love how she included her parents in this moment - that's such an Indian thing to do. 🥰
