Sonam Bajwa is known for her admiration of many Pakistani celebrities, including Fawad Khan, whose charm captivates millions across borders. Earlier this month, Bajwa once again declared her affection for the Pakistani heartthrob, calling him her “forever crush.”
“Any girl will gasp when she hears his name, no?” she mentioned in a recent interview while promoting her upcoming film “Kudi Haryane Val Di.” “Everyone knows he is my all-time crush!” she gushed. When asked jokingly by the interviewer if Fawad should be considered Punjab’s son-in-law, Bajwa laughed, blushed, and responded, “He’ll be so embarrassed to hear that! But I’ve loved him in everything.”
Fawad Khan has gained a significant following in India for his roles in “Kapoor & Sons,” “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil,” and “Khoobsurat.” His loyal fanbase remains strong across the border, with Bajwa’s admiration for him dating back to 2022 when she confessed her feelings in an interview with Connect FM Canada. When asked about the stars that stirred her heart, Sonam cryptically said, “That is a mystery. The only person I want to have an affair with is already married.”
