I am comfortable in my space in Punjabi cinema. — © Neeru Bajwa
I am comfortable in my space in Punjabi cinema.
Also, the times have changed, the Punjabi cinema is growing. Movies and songs are being made in such a manner that even a non-Punjabi can relate to them.
We are not only having a great audience for Punjabi films in north India but we are also seeing growth in other places like Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Indore, etc. And the overseas audiences have always been good for us. Without them we couldn't have taken Punjabi cinema to such heights.
I owe everything to Punjabi cinema.
I am glad to see the people grooving to and loving the Punjabi tunes. I also personally feel that Punjabi songs have a different vibe and energy, which helps in lifting one's mood completely.
Because of what I did in Punjabi cinema, I have got offers in Bollywood.
Every good looking and handsome boy goes to Mumbai first to struggle; he doesn't focus on Punjabi cinema.
I feel American comedy is a little too light. World cinema, and Latin cinema, is much more comfortable with darker emotions.
I have been brought up watching world cinema, and I have travelled a lot, so I am very comfortable with my body.
I am the last person who has any judgement about any kind of cinema, least of all commercial cinema because I am a product of commercial cinema.
I feel if the Punjabi cinema is experimenting, I should also at least try and do roles which create a new identity with every film.
We are trying our best to spread the culture of Punjabi music all over the world. With the traditional rigid Punjabi music, people always had a myth that the music is very conventional, but nowadays, we are really thrilled to see how people are loving the tunes and beats of Punjabi music.
As the cinema is changing, on-screen kissing, love-making scenes are becoming part of the narrative. I am not saying it is wrong, because it is the reflection of how our society has changed and become comfortable with it. But I am uncomfortable performing it on screen.
Cinema is actually very backward. When we see gay characters or people of color, they're always there for that reason. I'm personally kind of sick of that. I love to see characters who just live and breathe and are comfortable in that space.
As I studied in a girls' school and a girls' college, I am comfortable in the space where other girls are involved. If you see 'Moggina Manasu,' which was my first release, there were four of us girls sharing screen space.
I'm Punjabi and speak Punjabi fluently and know all the Indian customs and everything.
In 'Godha,' I was a Punjabi girl and had Hindi, English and Punjabi dialogues.
