She never dreamed that one phone call could change her life, but for Sadia Khateeb, who hails from Jammu, everything changed when she took a gamble on becoming an actor. She made her debut with Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s Shikara in 2020, followed by Raksha Bandhan (2022) with Akshay Kumar, and the recent John Abraham-starrer The Diplomat. Now, the actor is gearing up for two new projects — Dadi Ki Shaadi with Kapil Sharma, Neetu Kapoor, and Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, and another film helmed by Omung Kumar.

After shooting in Shimla for Dadi Ki Shaadi, Khateeb, who has returned to the bay, says, “I just came back from the shoot a day ago, two months after shooting this beautiful film. [While] I don’t know the destiny of the film or mine; I know for a fact that I’ve never had this much fun on a film set before.”
