New Delhi: Shehnaaz Gill talked about her career from appearing in Punjabi films to currently featuring alongside Salman Khan in a film. In a recent interview, the actor-singer, who is currently promoting her debut Bollywood film, 'Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan', recounted how the Punjabi film industry had "cut her off completely." She expressed how it had pained her the most when she had not been invited to the premiere of her own film. 

Shehnaaz claimed she cried after learning she was not invited to the Punjabi film premiere, albeit she did not specify which film she was referring to. With the 2017 film Sat Shri Akaal England, Shehnaaz Gill made her acting debut in Punjabi. She has since performed in Punjabi movies like Kala Shah Kala, Daaka, and Honsla Rakh.

During an interview with Siddharth Kanna, Shehnaaz was asked to share her two struggling moments that she can never forget. Talking about it, Shehnaaz said, "Ek baar maine ek movie pe kaam kiya tha second lead mein. And mujhe premiere pe bhi nahi bulaya tha, sari duniya ko bulaya tha, pura production house. Punjabi film thi. Main apni movie dekh kar nikli aur maine dekha sari photos and all ho rahi hain unki, premiere mein jo log the. Main uss din bahut royi gadi mein ja ke ki unhone mujhe call kiya, phir mujhe cancel kar diya. Mujhe tab bahut dukh hua tha ki mujhe nahi bulaya sab ko bulaya (For my Punjabi film's premiere, everyone was called, but not me. They asked me to come, and then cancelled. After watching the film, I saw the cast posing for photographers as I left the theater. I remember crying as I sat in my car, wondering why was I not called, when everyone else was)."

Shehnaaz also said, "Struggle toh maine bahut kiya hai. Punjabi industry ne bilkul hi mujhe cut-off kar diya tha. But woh kehte hain na 'Jiska koi nahi, uska bhagwan hota hai', toh mera bhagwan hai. Karma (I have struggled a lot. Punjabi film industry had cut me off completely. But as they say 'Those who have no one, have God'. I have God. It is all Karma)."

Shehnaaz, who participated in Bigg Boss 13 and is going to star in 'Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan' with Salman Khan, will make her Bollywood debut with the film. Raghav Juyal, Pooja Hegde, Bhumika Chawla, and others also appear in the action movie. Palak Tiwari, daughter of actor Shweta Tiwari, makes her Bollywood debut alongside Shehnaaz in 'Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan'. The movie will debut in theatres on April 21.
