Sonam Bajwa praises Punjab Kings co-owner Preity Zinta's inspiring journey from actor to entrepreneur in IPL, calling her stunning and a role model.

"She is one of the most stunning and beautiful ladies I have ever seen. I have followed her since her first film... Now, I am also witnessing her journey as an entrepreneur leading this IPL team. It's truly inspiring. - Sonam Bajwa"

Gurugram [India), May 16

Actor Sonam Bajwa opened up about meeting Punjab Kings co-owner Preity Zinta while supporting the team during the ongoing IPL season.

The 'Border 2' actor, who has frequently been spotted at IPL 2026 matches cheering for Punjab Kings, recently met the actor-turned-entrepreneur during one of the team's matches. And going by her reaction, the meeting clearly left a lasting impression on the Punjabi star.

Sonam shared her thoughts while attending the Marks & Spencer summer collection event, where she walked the ramp as the showstopper. The actress looked stunning in a stylish blue polka-dot fitted top paired with wide-legged beige trousers.

Speaking about Preity, Sonam described her as one of the most "stunning" and inspiring women she has come across. Reflecting on following Preity's journey since her very first film, Sonam said she has admired not just the actor in her, but also the entrepreneur she has become today through the IPL.

"She is one of the most stunning and beautiful ladies I have ever seen. I have followed her since her first film, and I have seen her journey as an actor. Now, I am also witnessing her journey as an entrepreneur leading this IPL team. It's truly inspiring," Sonam told ANI.

The actress also spoke about how Preity made the right move by investing in the IPL team at the "right time" after enjoying a successful acting career.

"Main kal hi kisi se baat kar rahi thi that she had such a wonderful acting career, and at the right time, she invested herself in this IPL team, and it's doing wonders," she added.

Sonam further wished the Punjab Kings the best for the rest of the tournament and said the team has been performing well this season.

"Unki team kaafi achha kar rahi hai. Punjab ki team bhi kaafi achha kar rahi hai. So, I just wish them all the best," she said.

Meanwhile, the Punjab Kings recently suffered their fifth consecutive defeat after losing to the Mumbai Indians by six wickets. After a strong start to the IPL 2026 season with six back-to-back wins, the team now stands fourth on the points table with 13 points from 12 matches. PBKS will need to win their remaining two matches to strengthen their chances of reaching the playoffs.

Wasn't this article about Sonam's comment, not her outfit? Media always finds a way to describe what the actress was wearing instead of focusing on the actual statement. But I agree with her - Preity Zinta has come a long way from Bollywood to owning an IPL team. That's proper career growth! 👍

I've been following Punjab Kings since the early days and it's amazing to see women leaders like Preity Zinta and Sonam Bajwa supporting the team. But honestly, the team needs to fix their bowling if they want to make the playoffs. Five consecutive losses is a big concern! 😬

I was at the stadium when Sonam cheered for Punjab Kings last week. Her energy was infectious! It's heartwarming to see Punjabi stars supporting their home team. And yes, Preity Zinta is indeed an inspiration - from 'Dil Hai Tumhaara' to IPL owner, what a journey! 🎬➡️🏏

Respecful observation: I think Sonam's comment about Preity's timing is spot on. Many Bollywood actors try to launch businesses too late or too early. Preity invested in IPL right after her peak acting years when she had the capital and fan base. That's the kind of strategic thinking more celebrities should learn from. The Punjab Kings' current performance though... they need to win both remaining matches!

For a moment I thought this was about Sonam Bajwa's movie 'Punjab 1984' but then realized it's about IPL. Both ladies deserve applause for breaking stereotypes. However, calling Punjab Kings "kaafi achha
