Sonampreet Bajwa, known professionally as Sonam Bajwa, was born on 16 August 1989 in Nainital, then part of Uttar Pradesh (now in Uttarakhand). She completed her school education in the Nainital area and later graduated from Delhi University. After finishing her degree she travelled to Sydney, Australia, where she completed training as an air hostess and worked in that role for a period.

While living in Sydney she was introduced to the world of modeling. Encouraged to try pageants, Sonam took part in several competitions, including the Femina Miss India contest in 2012. Although she did not win, she continued to pursue modeling alongside auditioning for acting roles.

Career

Sonam transitioned into films beginning in 2013. Her acting debut came with the Punjabi film Best of Luck, in which she played a character named Simran. The film brought her recognition in Punjabi cinema and led to further opportunities.

In 2014 she appeared in Punjab 1984, portraying a character called Jeeti opposite lead actor Diljit Dosanjh. The film was a major success and helped establish Sonam as a notable performer in the regional industry. She has worked across Indian film industries, with credits listed in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi films in addition to her Punjabi work.

Over the years Sonam expanded her profile beyond acting, maintaining a strong presence as a model and public figure. She has been noted as one of the higher-paid actresses in the Punjabi film industry and received a Best Actress award in 2020.

Sonam comes from a Sikh family and is the daughter of a teacher; her mother's name is Ritu Bajwa. Her family includes a brother, Jaydeep Bajwa, and a sister. The family currently resides in Sydney, Australia.

Physically, published profiles list her height as 170 cm and her eye and hair colour as brown. She has described interests that include acting, travelling and shopping. Media profiles identify her as unmarried.

Her career path — from air hostess to model to actress — has been accompanied by participation in beauty pageants and by auditions for Hindi film projects. One notable episode in her early Bollywood intersection involved an initial selection and subsequent replacement on a major Hindi production.
