# Wamiqa Gabbi says DC character Chandra rescued her 2026-08-18T11:36:48+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Actor Wamiqa Gabbi has written that her character Chandra in the Tamil film DC changed her life. Sharing a post on social media, she said: 'The first time Chandra changed my life, nobody knew her but me. The second time, the world did.' She drew a parallel between her experience and that of her character, who is rescued by Das (Lokesh Kanagaraj) in Arun Matheswaran's film. Gabbi added that Chandra rescued a part of her she hadn't met yet. DC, an adaptation of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's 1917 novel Devdas, marks Lokesh Kanagaraj's debut as a lead actor. The film also stars Sanjana Krishnamoorthy, Krish Dayal, and Avinash Raghudevan. Sun Pictures, which produced the film, announced last week that DC has crossed Rs 50 crore worldwide. Gabbi has spent nearly two decades working across Punjabi, Telugu, Malayalam, Tamil, and Hindi cinema, with her breakthrough coming in the web series Jubilee. ## Indian Opinion Analysis These two sources are both positive about DC and Wamiqa Gabbi's performance, but they frame the story from different angles. Cinemaexpress.com centers Wamiqa's own emotional note about her character Chandra, using her words to create a personal, almost spiritual narrative about art and self-discovery. Telugu360.com, by contrast, frames the same news as a career-arc success story, emphasizing her two-decade journey from a small role in Jab We Met to being noticed by stars like Mahesh Babu and Allu Arjun. Cinemaexpress grounds the story in a specific quote and film context (the Devdas adaptation), while telugu360 uses broader industry buzz. Neither source is critical. The measured takeaway is that Wamiqa Gabbi, after years of varied work, has found a role that gives her both personal and commercial recognition. Watch for the next box office milestone announcement from Sun Pictures. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - cinemaexpress.com (neutral report) Leads with Wamiqa's personal, emotional note, framing the story as self-discovery and art. - telugu360.com (neutral report) Frames the story as a career-arc success, emphasizing industry and star recognition.
