Sonam Bajwa Early Life
Sonam Bajwa was born on 16 August 1989 in the small town of Uttarakhand, India, to a middle-class family. Both her parents are teachers. Sonam grew up in Uttarakhand and finished her schooling there. However, Sonam had big dreams from the beginning; she wanted to be Miss India and had an interest in modeling from a very young age.
It was when she moved to Delhi for college her dream saw the light of day. She decided to give her one shot at her dreams and moved to Mumbai. Sonam participated in Femina Miss India 2012, and from there on, her modeling career kickstarted. Sonam later revealed that her first paycheck was ₹ 8,500 from a modelling assignment.
Things started working in her favor, and she got the opportunity to fulfill her dreams. She started working in Punjabi movies and didn’t stop.
In an interview with Gippy Grewal (recently seen in Mitran Da Naa Chalda) during promotions of Carry on Jatta 2, Sonam was asked how she was an air hostess before her movie career happened and now she is a star; how hard was it to achieve the stardom that she has today? To which Sonam replied,
‘I have always been a hard-working person. Even when I was an air hostess, I used to make sure I am doing my work perfectly. Even today, I try to give my 100 percent to whatever I am doing. I think I was just destined to be here, and it was all God’s favour. Otherwise, I come from a very humble background. Both my parents are teachers. They have been immensely supportive of my career choices and never stopped me from doing what I love. Having said that, I don’t take stardom as permanent.’
A simple girl from a small town in Uttarakhand chased her dreams and is now ruling the Punjabi film industry! Sonam’s story is an encouragement to those who feel that outsiders can not make it big in the film industry.
