Is she Bollywood’s next big thing? She is! Sonam Bajwa drew attention with her role in Housefull 5 effortlessly switching between khaalis Urdu, Hindi and Punjabi. Now she is rewriting the rules of stardom. After reigning supreme in Punjabi cinema with a string blockbuster hits like Carry on Jatta 2 & 3, Honsla Rakh, Nikka Zaildar series, Puaada and power packed roles in Godday Godday Cha, Gudiyan Patole, Punjab 1984 amongst many others, she is now taking over Bollywood in full force.
Known for her magnetic screen presence and acting prowess, Sonam has always been more than just a regional star. Her transition to Hindi cinema feels seamless and natural. And what a debut year it’s turning out to be.
She made an incredible Bollywood debut with Housefull 5, effortlessly switching between khaalis Urdu, Hindi, and her native Punjabi, leaving audiences stunned by her linguistic ease and comic timing. She quickly followed that up with the announcement of Baaghi 4, opposite Tiger Shroff, where she brings a bold and sultry energy to the screen.
Next comes Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, a heartfelt romantic drama with Harshvardhan Rane. Sonam takes on a powerful, author-backed role, showing yet another shade of her range. And in Border 2, she returns to her roots, playing the leading lady alongside Diljit Dosanjh, blending desi pride with emotional depth.
It is rare to see a debutante in Hindi cinema take on such a wide spectrum of roles within a single year. From comedy and glamour to action, romance, and patriotic drama, Sonam Bajwa is proving that she is not here to follow trends but to set them.
She is not just making her Hindi film debut. She is redefining what it means to be a pan-India star. With this kind of momentum, there is no doubt – Sonam Bajwa is not Bollywood’s next big thing. She is the big thing.
