Sonam Bajwa has recounted a wild story that a woman shared with her, where she had to call off her engagement. Sonam featured in the Amazon MX Player show Famously Fit with Sophie, where she shared a story about how the actor was considered a reason for an engagement to be broken.
What Sonam said
During the chat, Sonam shared, “There was this girl who walked towards me and she asked, ‘Are you Sonam Bajwa?’ I said yes, and she said, ‘I have to tell you something.’ She goes that because of me, her engagement broke. I said, ‘I don’t know if I should say I am so sorry to hear that,’ but I was so stunned! Then she goes, ‘But I am very happy now and I am engaged to somebody else.'”
She continued sharing why the woman called off the engagement, “So she said, ‘I am super happy. I called off the engagement with that guy because he was obsessed with you and he wanted me to look like you. He wanted me to have a body like you. It was just a lot for me so I called off that engagement. But ab main jinke saath hoon woh mujhse bohot pyaar karte hain (Now I am with someone who really loves me a lot).'” Sonam said that she told the girl that she was happy for her.
