Not only that, Sonam Is also a brilliant actress who has proven herself through hits like Guddiyan Patole and Ardab Mutiyaran. She recently spoke about the ‘pretty face’ tag that was given to her and how she changed that perception about her.
In an interview with Siddarth Kannan, Sonam Bajwa shared, “I want to do a lot as an actor, I have not been offered that kind of scripts. If I look back at my journey, a lot of people thought ‘She is just a pretty face, she cannot even act.’ Industry people felt that and said that. With all my heart I prayed and asked god to give me that one film which will shift people’s focus from how I look to how I perform and that happened. I did Guddiyan Patole, Ardab Mutiyaran in 2019. Both the films were commercially successful and people appreciated my work. They were female-centric films. It changed the course of cinema in Punjab and then I got the respect as an actor, which I really wanted.”
She added, “From there, I have a lot to do. With time people get to know about your real self. Because I don’t have any agenda that I want to show off this or that. I want to do acting all my life. Kooburati kitne time tak rahegi (How long will beauty last?). In our industry, on women, the clock is ticking a lot faster than men.”
