Does Wamiqa Gabbi Have Friends In Bollywood? Here's What The Bhool Chuk Maaf Actor Says
'I have very friendly friendships with a lot of people," Wamiqa Gabbi said, in an interview with Siddharth Kanan, 'but very few real friends. Because dosti karne mein waqt lagta hai." Her voice carried a quiet wisdom, a clarity born from years of observing people come and go — both in life and in cinema.
For Wamiqa, friendship isn't about frequent appearances on social media or sharing numerous inside jokes over brunch. It's about presence — the kind that doesn't need words, likes, or validation. 'A real friend is someone you call the moment something amazing happens… and also the person you call when you're breaking inside," she explained. 'When both those calls go to the same person — that's dosti."
She is clear about that particular group of people in her life. 'I think my real friends are still the ones from Chandigarh. They've been around for 8 to 12 years now."
Her circle in Bombay is smaller, more intimate. 'The ones I'm close to here — those friendships are about ten years old too. And slowly, slowly, even in the industry, I'm building a few real bonds. It takes time, but it's worth it."
Meanwhile, Wamiqa blink-and-miss appearance in Imtiaz Ali's Jab We Met and Love Aaj Kal recently trended big on social media. Taking to social media, she wrote a letter to her younger self. Addressed as 'Dear Younger Wamiqa", she penned, '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 whats coming next!"
She continued, '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!"
'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!", she concluded.

Bhool Chuk Maaf Box Office Collection Day 11: Rajkummar Rao-Wamiqa Gabbi film earns Rs 62.82 crore, will finish strong in last three days of its theatrical release
Bhool Chuk Maaf Box Office Collection Day 11: Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi's Bhool Chuk Maaf is certainly making a mark during its limited theatrical run. Released on May 23 in the theatres, the film was expected to struggle because of its unique two-week run at the theatres before it starts streaming on OTT. Consisting of only two weekends, this kind of run limits the power of the word of mouth and doesn't provide the film with the chance of making some real money. The film, however, has managed to do well in the circumstances. Directed by Karan Sharma, the film has already gone past films such as Shahid Kapoor's Deva that had an India net collection of just Rs 33.9 crore, while John Abraham's much awaited The Diplomat earned Rs 40.73 crore. Bhool Chuk Maaf, with the 'time-loop' conflict at the centre of its narrative, has managed to overshadow all these films, including some more that were released this year, and the makers will be hoping for a strong finish. The occupancy rates maintained an average of 10%, with the morning and afternoon shows bringing in 5.27% and 11.78%, respectively, while the evening and night shows achieved 11.06% and 12.47%. ALSO READ: PVR-Inox top boss declares Rajkummar Rao's Bhool Chuk Maaf a 'genuine hit' after theatrical release dispute: 'Has revived theatres' The reason why the remaining three weekdays are even more crucial for the film is that new competitors will be entering the arena right as it makes its exit. The Mani Ratnam directorial Thug Life, starring Kamal Haasan, will be releasing on June 5, and the ensemble comedy Housefull 5 is releasing on June 6. Thug Life marks the return of Ratnam and Haasan coming together, while Housefull 5 has a cast which is bound to chew away a big chunk of Bhool Chuk Maaf's audience. The cast of Housefull 5 includes Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Sonam Bajwa, Jacqueline Fernandez, Jackie Shroff, and Nana Patekar. Bhool Chuk Maaf might have been able to draw some audiences to the theatres while competing with the two aforementioned movies, but that question will remain unanswered as the film will be released on Prime Video on June 6, ending its theatrical run. Initially due to the recent India-Pakistan conflict, the makers of the film had decided to launch the film straight to OTT, but multiplex group PVR INOX intervened with a lawsuit. Post the legal action, Maddock Films decided to have this one-off two-week theatrical run.
