From Love Aaj Kal to Bhool Chuk Maaf: Wamiqa Gabbi calls her cinematic journey 'Magical'

Actress Wamiqa Gabbi reflects on her remarkable cinematic journey from junior artist to lead actress in Bollywood

"You didn't dream small and you never stop chasing the best - Wamiqa Gabbi"

Mumbai, May 21

Did you know, actress Wamiqa Gabbi was a junior artist in the "Thoda Thoda Pyar" song from Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone's 2009 drama "Love Aaj Kal".

Reminiscing about the good old days, Wamiqa penned a sweet note to her younger self on Instagram. She wrote, "Dear Younger Wamiqa, You were always a dreamer and a hard working one! As a kid on that Love Aaj Kal set - you were not just a junior artist enjoying the work that came your way because your Daddaa believed in you, but you believed in yourself too…. You were nervous, excited, soaking it all in on that set. You have only continued to work harder without worrying about what's coming next !"

16 years after "Love Aaj Kal", Wamiqa is all set to groove on her own rendition of another song from the film, "Chor Bazaari" with Rajkummar Rao in their forthcoming drama, "Bhool Chuk Maaf".

"Cut to 16 years later, the song from the same film is playing and the same love for the camera still lives on, but this time, it’s your story! Every time I hear Chor Bazaari, it hits a little different now! You’ve gone from being in one fleeting frame as a toddler with a mooch and a massa, to finding your own space in the spotlight. It’s wild how life can throw such beautiful moments to cherish, especially when you least expect it!" the diva went on to write.

Showing her gratitude for her magical journey from "Love Aaj Kal" to "Bhool Chuk Maaf" Wamiqa concluded, "You didn’t dream small and you never stop chasing the best because TITLI wouldn’t have happened if you had gotten lost on the way and I am so glad you didn’t! Always be humble, grateful and never stop believing in MAGIC! Love, Wamiqa."

Helmed by Karan Sharma, "Bhool Chuk Maaf" is expected to be released in the cinema halls on May 23rd.

Saw her in Titli and was blown away by her performance. It's rare to see such authentic talent in Bollywood these days. Hope Bhool Chuk Maaf gives her the recognition she deserves!

The original Chor Bazaari song was iconic! Excited to see Wamiqa's version but honestly worried if it can match the original magic. Hope they don't ruin a classic just for nostalgia points.

Her Instagram post was so heartfelt! It's refreshing to see actors who remember their humble beginnings. Most star kids wouldn't even acknowledge being a junior artist. Respect! 🙏

The title 'Bhool Chuk Maaf' reminds me of Vishal Bhardwaj's film. Hope this one lives up to expectations! Wamiqa has great comic timing from what I've seen in her web series. Fingers crossed! 🤞

Not sure about this trend of remaking old songs. Bollywood needs fresh content instead of banking on nostalgia. That said, Wamiqa is a brilliant actress who can pull it off if anyone can.
