18 Oct
Summary
- Zaira Wasim's Secret Superstar is the highest-grossing Hindi film led by a female superstar
- Zaira Wasim's record has remained untouched for 2,922 days as of October 2025
- Alia Bhatt's upcoming film Alpha could potentially dethrone Zaira Wasim's record
In 2016, Aamir Khan introduced one of the brightest young actors in Hindi cinema, Zaira Wasim, who delivered a standout performance in the film Dangal. Since then, Zaira Wasim has made a lasting impact on the industry, despite quitting Bollywood after just three films.
Zaira Wasim's biggest claim to fame is her starring role in the 2017 film Secret Superstar, which went on to become the highest-grossing Hindi film led by a female superstar at the worldwide box office. The film, directed by Advait Chandan, earned a staggering 902.92 crore in its lifetime, making it the seventh highest-grossing Hindi film of all time.
As of October 2025, Zaira Wasim's record for the highest-grossing female-led Hindi film has remained untouched for an impressive 2,922 days. The closest challenger was Shraddha Kapoor's Stree 2, which earned 884.45 crore at the box office, but still fell short of Zaira's achievement.
