As anticipation builds for her upcoming Punjabi film Pitt Siyapa, actress Sonam Bajwa has spoken candidly about the professional risks, industry skepticism, and growing expectations that have defined her journey across film industries.
In a recent interaction, Bajwa reflected on the pressures that come with a loyal fan following, admitting that admiration often brings heightened responsibility. She noted that while audience expectations are understandable, the realities of the film business do not always align with what fans hope to see on screen.
Despite her strong popularity in Punjabi cinema, Bajwa revealed that her transition into Hindi films was not without hurdles. She recalled that early in her Bollywood journey, there were doubts among producers about her suitability, including concerns about language and whether investing in an actor from a comparatively smaller industry would pay off.
Her decision to join the ensemble cast of Housefull 5 marked a turning point. Bajwa said she was advised against taking on a multi-starrer project, as it differed from her previous roles. However, she chose to proceed, viewing it as an opportunity to challenge herself rather than remain confined to familiar territory.
The actress emphasized that confidence in her craft helped her navigate such decisions. Whether given limited screen time or major roles, she maintained that her focus has always been on delivering her best performance. She also credited her instincts for guiding her career choices, even when external opinions suggested otherwise.
Discussing her filmography, Bajwa highlighted the importance of balancing commercial appeal with personal conviction. While large-scale projects can expand reach, she believes smaller, unconventional films also play a vital role in shaping an actor’s growth.
Looking ahead, Bajwa acknowledged that expectations surrounding her work have increased significantly. She expressed hope that her future selections will resonate with audiences and reinforce her reputation for making thoughtful choices.
Directed by Rupinder Chahal, Pitt Siyapa is gearing up for its theatrical release. The film also stars Paramvir Singh Cheema and revolves around a quirky yet ambitious woman who starts a unique service catering to non-resident Indians. Blending humor with unexpected twists, the story unfolds into a mix of chaos, crime, and emotional drama.
