Hyderabad: Today, as Gippy Grewal celebrates his birthday on January 2, it is the perfect moment to reflect on his incredible journey from a small village in Punjab to becoming one of the most celebrated figures in the Indian entertainment industry. His story is not just a tale of fame but one of relentless determination, struggle, and an unwavering belief in himself.
Born in Kum Kalan, a small village in the Ludhiana district of Punjab, Rupinder Singh Grewal, popularly known as Gippy Grewal, faced a lot of struggles in his early childhood. Growing up in a modest household, the future star of Punjabi cinema had humble beginnings. But little did the world know that the boy from a quiet village was destined for greatness.
The road to stardom was not paved for Gippy. Like many aspiring artists, he encountered numerous hurdles along the way. After completing his studies in Hotel Management at the North India Institute of Hotel Management in Panchkula, Gippy moved to Canada, where life was not easy. He worked as a waiter in a restaurant in the British Columbia region, and at one point, he even washed people's cars just to make ends meet. However, his dream of a career in music and acting remained steadfast.
Gippy's breakthrough came in 2002, when he launched his debut album, Chakkh Lai, marking the beginning of his singing career. But it was not until 2010, with the release of his album Phulkari, that his fortunes began to change. Phulkari became a massive success, and with it, Gippy's rise to prominence was set in motion. The release of his album Desi Rockstar followed, further cementing his place in the hearts of Punjabi music fans. His collaboration with Yo Yo Honey Singh for the track Angreji Beat proved to be a career-defining moment, making it one of the most iconic songs in his collection and gaining him national recognition.
As Gippy's popularity grew in the music industry, his aspirations extended to cinema. He ventured into acting, where his breakthrough came with the film Mel Karade Rabba (2010). His ability to connect with the audience through his versatile roles quickly made him a sought-after name in Punjabi cinema. His acting prowess, combined with his successful music career, positioned him as a major force in the entertainment industry.
Fast forward to 2023, and Gippy Grewal has become a name synonymous with success in both the Punjabi music and film industries. He starred in and produced Carry On Jatta 3, the first Punjabi film to cross the Rs 100 crore mark at the box office. His other successful ventures, such as Warning 2, Shinda Shinda No Papa, and Jatt Nu Churail Takkri, further solidified his star status. His production company, Humble Motion Pictures, has become a leader in the Punjabi film industry, producing hit films and providing opportunities for new talent.
One of the most endearing aspects of Gippy's story is the immense support he received from his wife, Ravneet Kaur Grewal. Gippy credits her unwavering faith in him during his times of struggle as a crucial factor in his success. With her constant encouragement, Gippy was able to overcome obstacles and chase his dreams.
Not just a successful singer and actor, Gippy has also made a significant mark as a producer and director, bringing Bollywood stars like Dharmendra, Sanjay Dutt, and Zareen Khan to Punjabi cinema. His work has reshaped the landscape of Pollywood, helping the industry gain recognition on a global stage.
