Sonam Bajwa Reveals The Struggles Faced By Her
In the interview with Siddharth Kannan, Sonam Bajwa shared her story and even responded to claims made by Shehnaaz Gill. She said,
“So in the industry, when it was shunned, and big and successful celebs were given importance, so to be honest, it did not affect me much as I had seen much worse than this. I have also experienced that the makers would remove me from a film and not even let me know, so I have been through such times, but it doesn’t affect me much.”
Sonam also claimed that she had faced bias because she did not satisfy the unrealistic beauty standards of being “gori chitti.” She said,
“When I was growing up as a kid, I was bullied for my skin colour because as a Punjabi, I was not (Gori chitti) fair enough. A few of my relatives never even invited me to their house ever. I have never seen their houses while growing up. But when I did well in my career, they called me to their house all the time, but unfortunately, I lost connection and respect. So this is life everyone respects successful people in industry or society.”
