Actress Wamiqa Gabbi recently found herself at the center of a social media debate after influencer Nadeesh Bhambi shared a video critiquing her rumored PR tactics.
The clip, humorously titled Wamiqa Gabbi’s PR Team Meeting, featured Bhambi praising her as “beautiful and talented,” while others jokingly referred to her as the “new national crush” and made remarks such as “Triptii Dimri who?” The video even drew comparisons to Bollywood icon Aishwarya Rai, with a comment suggesting, “If Aishwarya had a daughter, she’d look like Wamiqa.”

Wamiqa, known for her playful persona, responded in the video’s comment section with a cheeky remark: “Talented aur Khoobsurat bhi? Uff, Thaaaank you. And as for everything else, we did try ‘Wamiqa for next President!’ but it didn’t get approved.”
Nadeesh replied to her comment, advising her PR team to “take it easy” and avoid actions that might harm her image. The exchange took a poetic turn when Wamiqa concluded with a Hindi couplet by Akbar Allahabadi. She wrote, “Hum aah bhi karte hain toh ho jaate hain badnaam, vo qatl bhi karte hain to charcha nahin hota.” This translates to, “Even my sighs invite slander, while their crimes go unnoticed.”
