Punjabi film star Sonam Bajwa recently opened up about an unusual and unexpected interaction with a fan, revealing how she was once blamed for the breakup of a woman’s engagement.
The actor recounted the incident during her appearance on the talk show Famously Fit with Sophie, hosted by Sophie Choudry on Amazon MX Player. Known for candid conversations, the show often brings out lesser-known personal experiences of celebrities.
Sharing the anecdote, Bajwa said she was approached by a woman who recognised her and wanted to share something personal. To her surprise, the woman claimed that her earlier engagement had ended because of Bajwa. The unexpected statement initially left the actor stunned.
According to Bajwa, the woman later clarified that her former fiancé had been overly influenced by the actor’s appearance and had pressured her to look and behave similarly. Feeling uncomfortable and unable to meet those expectations, the woman decided to end the relationship.
However, the story took a positive turn as the woman told Bajwa that she is now happily engaged to someone else who appreciates her for who she is. Bajwa responded warmly, expressing happiness for her and her new relationship.
The incident highlights how celebrity influence can sometimes spill into people’s personal lives in unexpected ways.
On the professional front, Bajwa has built a strong career across multiple film industries. After starting out as a model and participating in beauty pageants, she made her acting debut with the Punjabi film Best of Luck and rose to prominence with Punjab 1984. Over the years, she has featured in several successful films, including Nikka Zaildar, Sardaar Ji, and Carry On Jatta 3, becoming one of the most recognised faces in Punjabi cinema.
She has also expanded her presence into Hindi and South Indian films, continuing to grow her footprint across the Indian entertainment industry.
Her recent appearance on the show not only offered a glimpse into her personal experiences but also highlighted the unpredictable ways in which public figures can impact everyday lives.
