The queen of Punjabi cinema, Sonam Bajwa, has every reason to celebrate! Her film Godday Godday Chaa has just won Best Punjabi Film at the prestigious 71st National Film Awards, and the actress is positively glowing. Taking to her Instagram story, Sonam dropped a sweet, heartfelt message: “Wow... over the moon, congratulations to the entire team.” Short, simple, and straight from the heart — and fans are living for it.
Sonam led the film with a pitch-perfect performance as Rani — a spirited young woman determined to break social norms and take the women of her village to a wedding procession, a bold act in the setting of 1980s Punjab. Her portrayal not only brought depth and humor but also empowered audiences, and now, with this National Award win, her work is officially etched into cinematic history.
While the actress celebrates the big win, she’s also riding high on a stellar lineup of upcoming blockbusters. After recently appearing in the mega-entertainer Housefull 5, Sonam is now juggling multiple big-budget projects including Baaghi 4, Nikka Zaildar 4, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, and the much-anticipated Border 2. Her plate is full, her career is soaring, and she’s showing no signs of slowing down.
With her signature mix of glamour, grounded performances, and a natural flair for both comedy and drama, Sonam continues to dominate screens across languages and genres. Whether she’s leading a female-driven Punjabi gem or lighting up a Bollywood ensemble, she brings a touch of magic to every frame she’s in.
From red carpets to rustic villages on screen, Sonam Bajwa is proving she’s not just a pretty face — she’s a powerhouse of talent. With this National Award under her belt and a roster of films lined up, Sonam isn’t just over the moon — she’s orbiting a whole new galaxy of stardom.
