Sonam Bajwa Says She Refused Bollywood Films Because Of Kissing Scenes: 'I Thought How Will People Respond To It?'
Punjabi actor Sonam Bajwa is not only one of the most famous names in the Punjabi film industry but is also hugely popular on social media.
New Delhi: Punjabi actor Sonam Bajwa is not only one of the most famous names in the Punjabi film industry but is also hugely popular on social media because of her looks. The actor, who will complete a decade in the industry this July, recently revealed that she once rejected a Bollywood film because of a kissing scene.
In an interview with Film Companion, Sonam shared, "In Bollywood, I said no to a couple of things because I said, is Punjab going to be okay with it? Because we have that mentality that families should be okay, families should be watching. I was very scared to do a kissing scene in a film back then, because I thought how are people going to respond to it? How are these people who have made me who I am today, are they going to relate to it? Are they going to understand this is for the script? Is my family going to understand that this is for a film?"
She also said she should have given it more thought without rejecting Bollywood offers. She also shared that she spoke to her parents about it a couple of years back and was surprised by their reaction. “It was a couple of years ago, I spoke to my mom and dad about it. They were like, ‘Yes, if it’s for a film, it’s fine’. And I was so shocked. Why did I not speak to them first? So many things we assume in our head. I was so shy to discuss this with my parents, and they were like, ‘Koi nahi, je film liya, koi chakkar ni (It’s for a film, there’s no problem)’,” she told Film Companion.
Sonam's latest Punjabi film 'Godday Godday Chaa' is currently running in theatres. The film also star Tania, Gitaj Bindrakhia and Gurjazz.
