Sonam Bajwa, who primarily appears in Punjabi films, recently recalled that she once auditioned for Shah Rukh Khan starrer Happy New Year for the lead role. The role was eventually played by Deepika Padukone. Sonam recalled that she gave the audition during her early days in the film industry and went for the audition with her mother.
“I didn’t have a car at that time. My mother was here for a few days and it was raining cats and dogs. They gave a scene for the audition. They gave me that scene ‘easy lagta hai Mohini ka dance’, and for dance, they asked me to perform on ‘Chikni Chameli’. I got an outfit ready for ‘Chikni Chameli’ and the clothes I was wearing, I was supposed to do my scene in those clothes,” she shared with Mashable India.
Sonam Bajwa said that it was raining so badly that day that she and her mother were completely drenched by the time they reached the venue for the audition. “I was feeling so bad that my mother, with those wet clothes, she patiently waited for me to give my audition. That audition that day will always be so special for me. The only time my mom has ever accompanied me for an audition, was for this one,” Sonam recalled.
The Carry on Jatta 3 actor said that she never got around to watching Happy New Year when it actually released. But when she heard that Deepika’s dialogue from the film had gotten popular, she recalled from her audition that the dialogue stood out for her too. “While reading that scene, while performing I knew it’s fun, it’s cute,” she said.
Sonam Bajwa will next be seen in Punjabi films Godday Godday Cha and Carry on Jatta 3.
