Wamiqa Gabbi shares nostalgic throwback from Love Aaj Kal as she celebrates her growth in the film industry

Actor Wamiqa Gabbi recently shared a nostalgic moment from her early days in the film industry on Instagram, giving fans a glimpse of how far she has come. The actress posted a video clip from Imtiaz Ali’s Love Aaj Kal (2009), where she appears as a junior artist in the background, marking her first appearance on a film set.

What makes this post even more significant is that Wamiqa is now promoting Bhool Chuk Maaf, a feature film backed by one of the biggest production houses in the country. In a poetic twist, the film features a remix of the song Chor Bazaari, from Love Aaj Kal — the very same song that once played in the background of the set she was part of. This time, however, Wamiqa is no longer a background artist; she is front and center, showcasing her growth as an actor.

In her heartfelt caption, Wamiqa reflected on her journey. 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, but someone who believed in yourself too…” She went on to acknowledge how far she has come, from being in one fleeting frame as a child to now finding her own space in the spotlight.

Wamiqa’s journey, from being a curious teen on a film set to becoming a rising star in Indian cinema, is a testament to her dedication and passion. Today, she continues to shine with performances across various languages and platforms.

Looking ahead, Wamiqa has an exciting lineup of projects. She will be seen in Bhool Chuk Maaf, Godhachari 2, Bhooth Bangla opposite Akshay Kumar, Dil Ka Darwaza Kholna Darling with Jaya Bachchan and Siddhant Chaturvedi, and the Tamil fantasy entertainer Genie. As her career continues to soar, Wamiqa Gabbi’s journey serves as an inspiration for all dreamers, proving that persistence and passion always pay off.
