    Thanks for the help!!
    But I fail to understand that I never updated anything since my Kali is already up-to-date what might be causing this problem.
    And WiFi was working fine a day back.

    Hmm, is it built-in wifi or a USB stick? If it's USB, I'd try it on another machine...just to verify the wifi card didn't die.

    I'd also check the hotspot, to make sure it's working properly.

    It is in-built and the problem is also really weird

    If I start my Windows 10 and then restart to get into Kali my WiFi works fine but after I am in Kali if I restart back in Kali again I get this problem {Sometimes can't even understand what sort of sorcery is this?}

    @_defalt I tried the above solution but no luck

    Code:
    sudo service network-manager stop
    sudo service network-manager start
    Is there any other ouput/command that might help to locate the issue?
