Neeru Bajwa Reminised About Her Pind Days In Punjab
While in conversation with Neeru, we wanted to know more about her earlier days in Punjab. She mentioned that her summer vacations were spent at her pind in Punjab.

Her Nani Attacked Kids With This
She revealed that back in the day, it was essential to speak in Punjabi because her nani would throw rolling pins at the kids who would converse in English. Her nani didn’t understand English and talking in this language was almost like an insult to her. One of the prime reasons that she learnt perfect Punjabi was her nani as she couldn’t insult her like that.
Further, she added that her parents were born and brought up in Punjab and have grown up speaking their mother tongue. Hence, they weren’t fluent in English. All in all, it was better to learn Punjabi and make it easier for family conversations.
