‘Manu helped me become calm’: Wamiqa Gabbi on her role in Disney+ Hotstar show ‘Grahan’

The Punjabi actor makes her web series debut through this show

Wamiqa Gabbi called her father while shooting for the Telugu film Bhale Manchi Roju, over six years ago. It was her first South Indian film. The actor from Punjab struggled with the lines. “I don’t think I can do this,” she cried to her father. “There have been actors from North India who have managed quite well in the South. Just saying,” her father replied. Annoyed, she hung up. Wamiqa didn’t quite get the consolation she wanted. But her father’s taunting response motivated her. She wanted to join the list of actors he told her about.
