The upcoming Bollywood thriller HAQ is already making headlines — and now, the film just got even more glamorous. Former Miss Universe India Vartika Singh has officially joined the cast alongside Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam, marking her most high-profile Bollywood project to date.
A Star-Studded Line-Up for a High-Intensity Drama
Directed by Karan Malhotra, HAQ is said to be a gripping courtroom thriller that explores themes of justice, morality, and redemption. With Emraan Hashmi reportedly playing a sharp, morally conflicted lawyer and Yami Gautam essaying the role of a determined prosecutor, the addition of Vartika Singh adds a new layer of intrigue and glamour to the film.
According to early reports, Vartika will be seen in a pivotal role that bridges the emotional and legal conflicts at the heart of the story. While details about her character are being kept tightly under wraps, insiders suggest she plays a “key catalyst” in the film’s central narrative — a role that could surprise audiences with its intensity and emotional depth.
Vartika Singh: From Pageantry to the Big Screen
Vartika Singh, who was crowned Miss Universe India in 2019, represented the country at the global Miss Universe pageant and made a mark with her confidence and elegance. Known for her striking beauty, intelligence, and poise, she has since built a strong fanbase through her modeling work and brand endorsements.
While Vartika has previously appeared in a few regional and music video projects, HAQ marks her official entry into mainstream Bollywood cinema. The beauty queen has been vocal about her passion for acting and her desire to take on meaningful roles that challenge stereotypes.
In a recent interview, Vartika said, “I’ve always believed in the power of stories that move people. HAQ is one such story — raw, real, and relevant. Working with talents like Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam is a dream come true.”

Sources close to the production reveal that HAQ features a gripping courtroom face-off between the two, filled with dramatic twists, emotional revelations, and moral dilemmas.
