Mumbai, Dec 17 Bollywood actress Wamiqa Gabbi, who will next be seen in a film with Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, calls the experience surreal and says it feels like a childhood dream coming full circle.

“It feels surreal,” Wamiqa said. “I’ve grown up on these films. To now be part of that world is pure joy.”

For her, this association goes deeper than just a banner name as it taps into the nostalgia of being a kid watching Hindi films.

“Growing up, Dharma films, YRF, even everything Sanjay Leela Bhansali created, that was my childhood. Those films shaped how I saw cinema,” she added.

“So to now be doing a film with Dharma Productions feels surreal,” she said.

The actress added: “It’s nostalgic, emotional and honestly, pure joy. I’m very happy and excited to see myself in that world. There’s always a special Dharma touch you feel when you watch one of their films.”
