Sonam Bajwa on Guru Nanak Jayanti 2025 : ‘I love kaali daal in langar…’

by jummy84 November 4, 2025

written by jummy84

For actor Sonam Bajwa, who is of Punjabi descent and known for her Punjabi films like Carry On Jatta franchise, Gooday Godday Cha (2023), the festival of Gurpurab, celebrated today, holds a special place in her heart. despite never having lived in Punjab.

Sonam Bajwa is a popular name in the Punjabi film industry.

“I was born in Uttarakhand and raised in UP, my grandparents settled there. I was living between these two states. Every Guru Nanak Jayanti, I have a very clear memory of going to Prabhat Pheris,” she shares.

Recalling her childhood memories of the festival, the 36-years-old says, “I used to be very excited from morning to evening. I used to look forward to having the tasty Kada Prasad, boondi, laddoos. My school had a special holiday that day but we still used to go to celebrate Guru Nanak Jayanti and even offered special prayers. We would roam around the entire day. I was always so thrilled about the festivities.”

She adds, “My mother is an amritdhari, she still does sewa and I grew up in that culture. I don’t have a clear memory of doing sewa myself though.”

One of the favorite memories, Sonam reveals, is savouring the langar .”I used to love the very famous kaali daal.and phulka. Even if you make it at home with the same ingredients, it never tastes the same.”

However, for Sonam, who is often busy with shoots now, the festival doesn’t feel quite the same anymore. She admits, “FestivaIs would definitely be different if my parents were here. This year, I will be shooting on Gurpurab in Punjab. As an actor, working on festivals, New Years, and even birthdays, has become a norm over the last few years.”

This year, Sonam forayed into Hindi film industry and was seen in films like Baaghi 4, Housefull 5, and Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat.

written by jummy84

Gandhi Jayanti is, without a doubt, a special day for every Indian. It is when we celebrate the life of the father of our nation, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. His teachings and take on life are mantras that everyone follows, not only in India but in the world. Over the years, several Indian films have been released on this auspicious day and have gone on to do well at the box office. So, we decided to explore the films that have been released on Gandhi Jayanti, including the recent ones.

1. Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari (2025)

Director: Shashank Khaitan

Cast: Varun Dhawan, Janhvi Kapoor, Sanya Malhotra, Rohit Saraf, Maniesh Paul, Akshay Oberoi, Abhinav Sharma

The rom-com follows Sunny Sanskari (Varun Dhawan), who is hopelessly in love with Ananya (Sanya Malhotra). But she leaves him for Vikram (Rohit Saraf), a billionaire. Determined to win her back, Sunny vows to sabotage the wedding. Soon, he learns that Vikram, too, has broken up with his girlfriend Tulsi (Janhvi Kapoor) for Ananya. Sunny then proposes a pact with Tulsi. They will crash the wedding together and reclaim their exes.

2. Kantara Chapter 1 (2025)

Director: Rishab Shetty

Cast: Rishab Shetty, Rukmini Vasanth, Sapthami Gowda, Kishore, Achyuth Kumar

Kantara: Chapter 1 serves as a prequel to the 2022 blockbuster Kantara, which became a cultural phenomenon with its unique blend of folklore, mysticism and action. The story focuses on the struggles of a community defending their land and culture against modern pressures while grappling with spiritual and supernatural elements.

3. War (2019)

Director: Sidharth Anand

Cast: Hrithik Roshan, Tiger Shroff and Vaani Kapoor

This was your typical all-out action entertainer that Bollywood fans would ideally call paisa vasool. Hrithik and Tiger are at their best as they flaunt their moves and perform incredible stunts with ease. Vaani too manages to make an impact despite lesser screen time.

4. Mohandas (2019)

Director: P. Sheshadri

Cast: Param Swamy, Samarth Hombal, Shruti, Anant Mahadevan

Mohandas, made in Hindi and Kannada, is a biographical film about Mahatma Gandhi’s childhood. It follows the events of his life from the ages of 6 to 14.

5. Singh is Bliing (2015)

Director: Ashvini Yardi

Cast: Akshay Kumar and Amy Jackson

Singh Is Bliing was a remake of the Korean movie My Wife is a Gangster 3. The film had a great opening, but overall, the film’s box-office collections were termed as average by trade analysts at the time.

Director: Meghna Gulzar

Cast: Irrfan Khan, Konkona Sen Sharma, Neeraj Kabi

Talvar is loosely based on the 2008 Noida double murder case involving a teenage girl and her family’s servant. It focuses on the investigation from three different perspectives.

7. Bang Bang (2014)

Director: Sidharth Anand

Cast: Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif

Bang Bang was a film based on the Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz starrer Knight and Day, which was a big hit worldwide. The film featured two strangers who happen to cross each other’s path and set off on an epic journey.

8. Haider (2014)

Director: Vishal Bhardwaj

Cast: Shahid Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor, Tabu and KK Menon

Haider was Vishal Bhardwaj’s adaptation of Hamlet by William Shakespeare and Basharat Peer’s memoir Curfewed Night. Acting, story, screenplay, music… Haider was a film that got everything right.

9. Besharam (2013)

Director: Abhinav Singh Kashyap

Cast: Ranbir Kapoor, Pallavi Sharda, Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor

Besharam was probably Ranbir Kapoor’s riskiest project, and even though it might not have worked as well as expected, it showed the actor certainly isn’t one to limit himself to conventional methods. The film also featured Ranbir sharing the screen with his parents, late Rishi Kapoor, and Neetu Kapoor for the very first time.
