The allure of Bollywood award shows lies in their magic – a convergence of stars, songs, and spotlight moments that define careers. Actress Sonam Bajwa stepped into this realm for the first time at Zee Cine Awards 2026, sharing a deeply personal account of excitement laced with anxiety and immense appreciation.
She captivated with high-energy performances on ‘Bol Kaffara Kya Hoga’ and ‘Dil Dil Dil’ from her recent release ‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewangi’. Her seamless dance routines and emotive delivery earned roaring ovations, marking her triumphant entry into award show lore.
Sonam reminisced, ‘I’ve performed live plenty, but award nights carry a unique prestige. Childhood memories of TV screenings fueled my dreams of this stage. Realizing it was pure magic.’
Diving deeper, she said, ‘As my debut here, it holds eternal value. Performing amid film legends, amid cinema’s jubilation and fan fervor, stirs the soul. Nerves gripped me initially, balanced by profound thanks for the honor.’
Riding high from 2025 successes with ‘Housefull 5’ and ‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewangi’ at the box office, Sonam launched into 2026 with ‘Border 2’ opposite Sunny Deol. Her ascent in Hindi films underscores a rising star’s unyielding rise.
