Actress Wamiqa Gabbi achieved 4th in the prestigious IMDb Annual 10 Most Popular Celebrities List for the year 2023, ahead of veterans like Nayanthara, Kareen Kapoor Khan, Vijay Sethupathi, Tamannaah Bhatia, and Akshay Kumar. Wamiqa stands as a fresh face among renowned industry giants and established personalities.

She capped an exceptional year with four home runs of projects that added up to her being one of the most heavily sought-after newcomers in the entertainment industry. From being her electrifying self in Jubilee and Modern Love Chennai to the zany spy in Charlie Chopra, as well as the mysterious female lead in Khufiya, Wamiqa Gabbi has ticked all the right boxes and was every bit impressive in 2023. She's one of the blossoming talents who garnered the love of audiences and critics alike.

Wamiqa Gabbi has been on a glorious rise, taking 4th place on IMDb’s list, behind only the hallowed trio of Shah Rukh Khan, Alia Bhatt, and Deepika Padukone. Her meteoric rise in 2023 has placed her at the highest levels of recognition as the star she always threatened to be but kept fans waiting for years since her first acting piece years ago.

Thanking all, Wamiqa said, “Being a part of IMDb’s Annual 10 Most Popular Celebrities List for 2023 is extremely overwhelming and rewarding. This year has been such a wonderful ride, and the immense love and support demonstrated by audiences from around the world has been unreal. It has been a whirlwind of learning experiences, and I am immensely thankful for the opportunity to work with immensely talented people and directors. Securing the 4th spot is both an honour and a responsibility.”

And talking about the year 2024, Wamiqa Gabbi is all set and standing on the crease of her next venture alongside Varun Dhawan, which will be produced by Atlee. Also, she may appear in Shiddat 2, and reportedly, in a Tamil film "Genie". Directed by Arjunan Jr., the film features star cast Jayam Ravi in the lead role, along with Krithi Shetty, Kalyani Priyadarshan, and Wamiqa Gabbi. This pan-Indian film was composed by the musical genius AR Rahman and produced by Vels Film International, promises an interesting journey forward that would do nothing else but cement Wamiqa Gabbi's place as one of the industry's emerging stars.
