Sonam Bajwa on reducing production cost
The actress added that it’s important not to be a burden for the producer. Stating that artists need to think from an empathetic point of view, the ‘Manje Bistre’ actress said, “I feel as a responsible actor, if you can help the producer reduce the cost of anything, you must do that.” She continued, “I always tell my team, if I become a producer and if there is wastage, I will feel very bad.

Nothing should be there for show-off and if there is something I can do, I do that.”
