Indian actress Wamiqa Gabbi knows exactly how to handle the chaotic energy of Mumbai’s paparazzi, and she does it with unparalleled grace and a touch of undeniable sass. A brand-new video of the actress from the trailer launch event of her highly-anticipated upcoming film, ‘Prahaar: The Untold Story of Ujjwal Nikam’, has taken social media by storm. While the event itself was a grand and emotional affair, it was a brief, light-hearted backstage interaction between Wamiqa and the shutterbugs that has netizens hitting the replay button.

In the now-viral clip, the Bollywood actress can be seen making her way through the venue, escorted closely by security personnel. Dressed to the nines in a stunning black satin saree featuring delicate silver floral embroidery along the borders, paired perfectly with a chic sleeveless blouse and statement earrings, Wamiqa Gabbi looked every bit the Bollywood diva. However, as she walked past, a group of eager photographers began yelling her name loudly, demanding her attention for a photo op.

Instead of ignoring the commotion or rushing past, Wamiqa Gabbi stopped in her tracks. Turning around with a mock-stern expression, she extended her hand towards the photographers and playfully called them out on their aggressive volume. “Pehle pyaar se bolo, aap aise daant ke kyun bol rahe ho?”, she quipped with a slight smirk.

The unexpected, witty comeback immediately diffused the chaotic energy. One of the photographers behind the lens quickly defended himself in a humorous tone, shouting back, “Nahi, nahi, aawaz hi aisi hai”. Hearing his flustered justification, Wamiqa dropped the act and burst into a bright, genuine laugh. Ever the professional, she graciously held the pleats of her saree, turned back towards the cameras, and struck a series of elegant poses for the beaming photographers.
The viral moment provided a refreshing and cheerful contrast to the intensely serious subject matter of the event she was attending. Wamiqa is gearing up for the release of ‘Prahaar: The Untold Story of Ujjwal Nikam’, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Avinash Arun and produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films. The gripping legal drama, set to hit theatres nationwide on October 16, 2026, stars Rajkummar Rao in the titular role of the renowned special public prosecutor. The film chronicles Nikam’s relentless legal battles, focusing heavily on his pursuit of justice following the tragic 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks.
The trailer was released on Tuesday. The decision to host the trailer launch at Mumbai’s historic Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) was a deeply symbolic and emotional choice by the makers, as the iconic railway station was one of the primary locations associated with the 2008 attacks.

Her ability to navigate the demanding spotlight with humour, poise, and a ready smile is exactly why this viral clip is winning hearts across the internet.
