[edit]

A Punjabi by birth, she was born in Bombay to Amarjit Singh Bajwa, a Naval Officer and Jayalakshmi Bajwa. She has a younger sister, Deepika Bajwa.[1] She was crowned Miss Pune in 2005,[2] after which she started modeling part-time while studying.[3] When she went to Hyderabad for a ramp show, the director of Modati Cinema spotted her and asked her if she was interested in films. She had finished her 12th then and had a five-month gap before college and hence agreed to star in his film, despite excelling in academics.[4] She pursued a degree in English Literature from Symbiosis International University, Pune.[citation needed]

In October 2020, Bajwa took to Instagram to announce she is in a relationship with director Suneel Reddy.[5]
