The Punjabi actor's appreciation for Shah's kind act has drawn attention from fans and media outlets across borders, highlighting the power of sportsmanship to unite people beyond boundaries.
Bajwa's fondness for Pakistani celebrities is not new, as she has openly expressed her crush on heartthrob Fawad Khan in the past. Her recent declaration of Fawad as her "forever crush" further cements her admiration for talent across the border.
Despite humorous suggestions of Fawad being Punjab's prospective son-in-law, Bajwa's affection for the actor remains unwavering.
Fawad Khan, renowned for his roles in films like "Kapoor & Sons," "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil," and "Khoobsurat," has garnered a substantial fan following in India, with Bajwa being among his loyal admirers.
Reflecting on her long-standing admiration for Fawad, Bajwa reminisced about her crush dating back to 2022, emphasizing her enduring fascination with the actor.
