She recalled, “I said no to a couple of things in Bollywood because I was like, ‘Is Punjab going to be okay with this?’ We have that mentality that families will be watching… I was very scared to do a kissing scene because I wondered, ‘How will people respond? How will my family, who have supported me, understand that this is for a film?’ I had all these questions in my mind.”

Sonam On The Conversation With Her Parents

However, her perspective shifted after discussing it with her parents. “A few years ago, I talked to my mom and dad about it. They said, ‘Yes, if it’s for a film, it’s fine.’ I was so shocked. Why did I not speak to them earlier? We tend to assume so much in our heads. I was shy to bring it up, and they were so supportive, saying, ‘Koi nahi, je film liya, koi chakkar ni’ (It’s for a film, no problem),” she shared.

Sonam Bajwa will next star in Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, releasing on October 21. This year, she also appeared in Housefull 5 and Baaghi 4, with more projects on the horizon, including Border 2 and her much-anticipated romantic drama Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat.
