Wamiqa Gabbi Responds to Viral PR Team “Exposé” by Influencer Nadeesh Bhambi
Sparks fly as Wamiqa Gabbi found herself at the center of a viral moment following influencer Nadeesh Bhambi's satirical take on her public relations strategy.
In a recent social media exchange that has captured widespread attention, rising star Wamiqa Gabbi found herself at the center of a controversy following influencer Nadeesh Bhambi’s satirical take on her public relations strategy. The incident has sparked a larger conversation about celebrity PR practices and authenticity in the entertainment industry.
The drama unfolded when Bhambi posted a comedic reel titled “Wamiqa Gabbi’s PR Team Meeting,” which took aim at what he perceived as overzealous promotional tactics.
The video portrayed a mock PR team brainstorming session, where team members pitched increasingly grandiose comparisons, including likening Gabbi to industry icon Aishwarya Rai and declaring her superior to contemporaries Rashmika Mandanna and Disha Patani.
Rather than shy away from the criticism, Gabbi responded with some wit. Commenting on Bhambi’s post, she wrote,
“Talented aur Khoobsurat bhi? Uff, Thaaaank you. And baki sab ka pata nahi but we did try ‘Wamiqa for next President!’ approve nahi hua.”
Her playful response acknowledged the humor while maintaining her dignity.
The exchange took an interesting turn when Bhambi replied to Gabbi’s comment, praising her performance in “Jubilee” while simultaneously urging her to “tell your PR team to chill.” Gabbi’s final response came in the form of a poetic couplet: “Hum aahein bhi bharte hain to ho jaatein hain badnaam, woh katl bhi karte hain to charcha nahin hoti,” suggesting a double standard in how different celebrities are perceived and criticized.
The incident has divided social media users.
One critic commented, “I think Wamiqa is overrated as hell! I personally hadn’t understood why she’d been casted in Jublee either because I don’t find her as graceful as the actresses from the 90s era.” Another supporter countered, “It’s not just her PR team..some of us genuinely like her. When many other actors who do cheap PR are popping up everywhere, you don’t bat an eyelid.”
The controversy comes at a time when Gabbi’s career is on an upward trajectory, with recent appearances in “Baby John” and upcoming projects like “Bhooth Bangla” alongside Akshay Kumar and Tabu. While her latest film “Baby John” may have faced box office challenges, the actress continues to generate significant buzz in the industry.
The debate continues to gain traction online, with fans and critics alike weighing in on the matter. As one Twitter user succinctly put it, “The real winner here is Wamiqa – she showed you can handle criticism with grace and humor.” Whether this incident will impact her PR strategy moving forward remains to be seen, but it has certainly added another layer to the ongoing discussion about celebrity image-making in the digital age.
