Sonam Bajwa recently admitted in an interview that she had declined offers from Bollywood because she was concerned about how the Punjabi public would respond. Sonam stated that she had to turn down a kissing-themed movie since she didn’t want to disappoint anyone, especially her family.
With the release of Best Of Luck in 2013, Bajwa made her acting debut in Punjabi cinema. Since then, she has developed into one of the industry’s most adored stars.
In an interview, Sonam made it clear that she declined Bollywood offers because she wasn’t sure. I declined a few requests because I asked, “Is this really necessary?
will you be able to handle it?Because we believe that families should be safe and should be paying attention.
She continued by saying that she had previously been really apprehensive of performing a kissing scene in a movie because she was worried about how the audience would react to it. How will it affect these folks who helped shape who I am? Will my family recognise that this is for a movie? Added she.
Sonam remarked that she should have given those offers more attention in the past before turning them down. “I talked to my parents about it a couple of years ago. Yes, if it’s for a movie, it’s okay, they said. I was absolutely stunned. Why didn’t I get in touch with them first? She had made assumptions and was too hesitant to talk to her parents about it, who responded,
Families continue to make up the majority of the Punjabi audience, despite Sonam’s claim that she can perceive a change in that demographic. She claims that this has discouraged actors who want to explore new things from doing so and has prevented the Punjabi business from experimenting with different genres.
