Sonam Bajwa recently shared an unexpected personal experience during her appearance on the show Famously Fit with Sophie, hosted by Sophie Choudry. The conversation highlighted how public figures can sometimes influence people’s personal lives in ways they do not expect.
While speaking on the show, Bajwa recalled meeting a woman who approached her during a casual interaction. The woman first confirmed her identity and then shared something surprising. Bajwa said, “There was this girl who walked towards me and she asked, ‘Are you Sonam Bajwa?’ I said yes, and she said, ‘I have to tell you something.’ She goes that because of me, her engagement broke. I said, ‘I don’t know if I should say I am so sorry to hear that,’ but I was so stunned!”
The woman then explained her situation further. Bajwa recalled, “So she said, ‘I am super happy. I called off the engagement with that guy because he was obsessed with you and he wanted me to look like you. He wanted me to have a body like you. It was just a lot for me so I called off that engagement. But ab main jinke saath hoon woh mujhse bohot pyaar karte hain (Now I am with someone who really loves me a lot).’” Bajwa added that she responded by saying she was happy for the woman.
Apart from this incident, Bajwa also spoke about her journey in the entertainment industry. She started her career as a model and gained attention after participating in Femina Miss India 2012. She made her film debut in 2012 with Best of Luck and later gained recognition with Punjab 1984 in 2014.
