Despite the array of roles she has played on screen, Wamiqa Gabbi confesses to have been challenged by the part of a mute medical student in Mai.

Gabbi, who learnt the sign language for the Netflix web-series, says, “I have always enjoyed doing different things, and learning about things that I am unaware of. That’s what attracted me to this film. Both Anshai Lal and Atul Mongia, the director-duo of the series, added different shades and layers to this role. It became a well-rounded and complex part. As a young actor, I feel lucky to play a part where one has to communicate through sign language.”
