Award ceremonies are Bollywood’s grandest stages, celebrating cinematic excellence amid cheers and cheers. Punjabi actress Sonam Bajwa recently lived out a childhood fantasy at the Zee Cine Awards 2026, making her debut live performance that blended thrill with heartfelt thanks.
Her set featured sizzling dances to ‘Bol Kaffara Kya Hoga’ and ‘Dil Dil Dil’ from ‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewangi’. Sonam’s vibrant moves and expressive flair had the auditorium on its feet, applauding wildly as she owned the night.
In a candid chat, Sonam opened up about the nerves: ‘Live gigs aren’t new to me, but an award show? That’s a whole new league. I’d idolize these functions on television growing up, imagining myself there. Achieving it felt surreal, like destiny aligning.’
‘It was special beyond words – my inaugural award stage moment. The industry’s gaze, the festive cinema spirit, the adoring fans – all so moving. Pre-performance jitters hit hard, yet gratitude filled me for this platform,’ she added.
Sonam’s 2025 was a blockbuster year, driven by hits like ‘Housefull 5’ and ‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewangi’. Entering 2026 with ‘Border 2’ alongside Sunny Deol, she’s cementing her Bollywood footprint, proving her star power is here to stay.
