After ‘Housefull 5' success, this Punjabi beauty bags another big project, set to star opposite Sunny Deol…; She is…
In the midst of Housefull 5's roaring success, Sonam Bajwa—already riding high with upcoming roles in Baaghi 4 opposite Tiger Shroff and Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat alongside Harshvardhan Rane—drops into a brand-new battlefield. Rumour has it she's set to star in the much-anticipated Border 2, sharing intense emotional terrain with Diljit Dosanjh amid the chaos of conflict. According to a Pinkvilla source, Bajwa's character is no mere cameo; she's the emotional core of the sequel, her arc reflecting strength, sacrifice, and chemistry that lights up the screen alongside Diljit's portrayal. The war isn't just external—it's fought in the heart. And her entrée is timed to perfection: cameras roll from late June through mid-August in Pune, as Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, Ahan Shetty, and now Bajwa bring Border 2 to life under Anurag Singh's lens. The hunt for Varun's heroine, however, continues. While makers have kept her involvement unconfirmed, the whispers carry weight—after all, Bajwa and Diljit share a rich chemistry, honed across Punjabi hits like Hounsla Rakh, Super Singh, Sardar Ji (and its sequel), Shada and Rana Cha Dhanna. Directed by Kesari's Anurag Singh and backed by JP and Nidhi Dutta alongside T‑Series, Border 2 is slated to hit theaters on Republic Day 2026—a prime release slot channelling the patriotic thunder of its 1997 cult predecessor. From delivering punchlines in Housefull 5 to stepping into the trenches for Border 2 , Sonam Bajwa's career arc isn't just genre-hopping—it's a bold recalibration. Her choices reflect not only ambition but a hunger to expand her range, from rom-com comfort zones to high-stakes war dramas. But this onscreen evolution echoes a deeper, offscreen journey, too. In a candid chat with Siddharth Kannan, Bajwa revisited the shadows of her childhood, being bullied for not fitting the fair-skinned stereotype expected of Punjabi girls. Relatives sidelined her, some even refusing to invite her home. That early exclusion etched a sense of defiance in her, one that now seems to be fuelling her fearless choices in cinema. With Baaghi 4 set for September 5 and Border 2 gearing up for a 2026 debut, Sonam Bajwa's filmography reveals not just ambition, but audacity. Will this move into war drama cement her transition from Punjabi?

Shanaya Kapoor's ‘stiff moves' in Guru Randhawa's music video Vibe disappoints internet: 'Female Salman Khan is dancing'
Sanjay Kapoor and Maheep Kapoor's daughter, Shanaya Kapoor, is gearing up for her Bollywood debut with the film Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan. Before hitting the big screen, however, she made her first appearance in a music video titled 'Vibe' alongside singer Guru Randhawa. The internet, though, seems less than impressed with her dancing skills, with many calling her performance 'stiff'. (Also Read: 'The bar is in hell' but Reddit is impressed as Shanaya Kapoor finally gets her Bollywood debut with Tu Yaa Main) On Friday, Guru and Shanaya released their new music video, which shows the pair enjoying a lively time in a casino before dancing together. The track, performed by Guru Randhawa and French Montana, is presented by Gulshan Kumar and T‑Series. While fans appreciated the upbeat music and Guru's vocals, many were disappointed by Shanaya's lack of expression and flexibility on the dance floor. The song quickly surfaced on Reddit, where users shared their views. One wrote, 'Face is too stiff, so no expressions—just bland. For dance, I would rather watch a puppet.' Another criticised the choreography: 'What even is that step? It looks like a workout.' Yet another joked, 'Female Salman Khan is dancing.' One comment read, 'She's so, so, so, so, so bad! Not a single expression! Girl, please quit and retire!' Another user compared her to Guru: 'Guru is dancing better than her.' One more observed, 'Guru, being a singer, is in my opinion a better dancer.' Someone else quipped, 'When you take 'Any Body Can Dance' title so seriously.' Some even defended her, saying, 'I think it's just the choreography—the background dancers look stiff as well.' Another commented, 'I think she looks beautiful.' One user noted, 'Well, she clearly can't dance, but the choreographer also didn't invent or create any good moves, so this looks poor from all angles.' Shanaya will make her Bollywood debut with Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan alongside Vikrant Massey. Helmed by Santosh Singh, the film is inspired by Ruskin Bond's short story 'The Eyes Have It' and is described as a musical drama. It is scheduled for release in cinemas on 11July. Shanaya also has Bejoy Nambiar's film Tu Yaa Main in the pipeline. The movie, which also stars Adarsh Gourav, follows two social‑media influencers attempting to escape a man‑eating crocodile in a survival thriller. Produced by Anand L. Rai, it will be released on Valentine's Day next year.
