It is safe to quote that acting runs in her veins....She has grown up watching her sister become the heart and soul of Punjabi Film Industry.. Now it’s her time around !! Meet Rubina Bajwa, sister of much-liked Punjabi actor Neeru Bajwa. Rubina is all set for her debut movie ‘SARGI’ - the directorial debut of her sister Neeru! Rubina shares her heart out in a conversation with TLJ corespondent Divjot Khamboj.
You were quoted saying that you are born to act. At what age did you realize that you want to be an actor?
While growing up, we always watched films and I was deeply intrigued by cinema. I love it! The drama, music, romance and everything in it. It was always in the back of my head that what if one day.... it was when Jatt and Juliet was being filmed in Vancouver and I happened to be on the sets... it was then that it struck me that I want to be part of the film world in the cinema!
Any special childhood memories related to acting? Who is the Drama-Queen at home- Neeru or you?
I have so many memories as a child with my sisters playing ‘dress up’... and dancing to our favorite songs and watching at least one film a day.... I think drama queen would be me as I am the youngest and I’m very expressive and emotional so the drama just comes out naturally.
You were born and brought up in Canada, what kept you connected to your Punjabi culture?
I have been connected to my roots since I was born. My parents have always kept us very close to our culture quiet naturally and it’s not something they had to force in us. During school holidays we were in Punjab, right from the food to the language to our religion, we have been nurtured organically.
What are the really ‘Pure Punjabi’ habits of yours?
Pure Punjabi habits are that I am fun loving and a jolly person. I have a very loud laugh. I just laugh my heart out!!
What is your all time favorite Punjabi food?
Sarson ka saag makhi di roti with salted lassi
Punjabi attire?
Salwar kameez, I prefer my salwaars very light
Punjabi accessories?
