Sonam Bajwa, who will soon be seen in the Punjabi film Godday Godday Chaa, recently hinted that many Bollywood actors have direct access to acclaimed filmmakers in the Hindi film industry and she hoped that she could also get similar opportunities.

In a chat with Bollywood Bubble, Sonam was asked if there was “one thing you would steal from these young age actresses.” When Sara Ali Khan and Ananya Panday were named, Sonam confidently said “nothing.” She then added, “They can go to Karan Johar’s house and discuss and get to audition. If I get to do all of that, then yeah…”

Sonam had recently opened up about her song being left out on the edit floor during Street Dancer 3D, which starred Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor. She told Siddharth Kannan, “I felt very bad. Firstly, I never wanted to do a song. But the team was so looked up to. Remo is such a senior artist, director, choreographer. Varun Dhawan is loved by everyone. I was in two minds, should I do the song, should I not do the song. But they’d reached out to me, so I decided to go ahead. And when the song didn’t make it to the final edit of the film, I was very disheartened.”

Sonam shared she was “disheartened” when her song removed and added, “The industry is quick to label you as someone who only does songs. I heard things like that. I felt disheartened, but what else can you do? Other songs were also removed from the film, maybe. The filmmaker would always think about making their film the best it can be. And it’s fair to think like that… I don’t blame anyone, but I felt bad for myself. But you just learn, and next time, I’ll be more thoughtful about making decisions.”
