Gurpreet Bhangu

Gurpreet Kaur Bhangu, better known as Gurpreet Bhangu, is kind of a big deal in the world of Punjabi and Hindi cinema, even if you don’t always see her plastered across billboards. She’s been around for a while, making a solid mark with roles in everything from heartfelt dramas to laugh-out-loud comedies. People might remember her in Nikka Zaildar 2 (2017)—that film had a following all its own—or maybe Singh vs. Kaur (2013), which was honestly a riot if you’re into that brand of Punjabi humor. She’s not just stuck to one genre, either. A Tale of Punjab (2015) saw her dive into the deeper, more intense side of things, while Ardaas (2016) was all about those raw, emotional punches straight to the gut. Oh, and 25 Kille (2016) threw her into a gritty, rural setup—pretty different vibe from the glitz and glam you’d expect from Bollywood. But hey, she’s not just a regional star. Gurpreet showed up in Mausam (2012), sharing screen space in a big Bollywood flick. That’s no small feat, especially for someone who’s mostly known for her Punjabi roots. What’s cool is that she’s not chasing after the same cookie-cutter roles; she brings her own flavor to every character, whether she’s the supportive mom, the tough-as-nails matriarch, or just someone caught up in life’s chaos. She’s pretty versatile, honestly, and her filmography reads like a crash course in modern Punjabi storytelling—lots of heart, a little drama, and always a touch of realism.
