Mumbai’s glitzy award nights have long been the pinnacle of glamour in Bollywood, where stars shine brightest under the spotlight. For Punjabi sensation Sonam Bajwa, stepping onto this prestigious stage for the first time marked a milestone etched in emotion. At the Zee Cine Awards 2026, she delivered a electrifying live performance that left the audience spellbound.
Dancing to the chart-topping tracks ‘Bol Kaffara Kya Hoga’ and ‘Dil Dil Dil’ from her film ‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewangi’, Sonam unleashed a whirlwind of energy and expressions. The crowd erupted in thunderous applause, captivated by her magnetic presence. It was a moment that encapsulated her journey from regional cinema to national acclaim.
Reflecting on the experience, Sonam shared, ‘I’ve done live shows before, but performing at an award night felt entirely different. As a child, I’d watch these events on TV, dreaming of standing on that stage one day. When it finally happened, it was like a dream turning real.’
She continued, ‘This was my first award show performance, making it incredibly special. Standing before the entire film industry, soaking in the celebratory vibe and fans’ love – it was overwhelming. I was nervous beforehand, but my heart overflowed with gratitude for this huge opportunity.’
2025 proved transformative for Sonam, with ‘Housefull 5’ and ‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewangi’ smashing box office records. Kicking off 2026, she joined Sunny Deol in the much-anticipated ‘Border 2’. These successes have solidified her as a force in Hindi cinema, blending talent with tenacity.
