Neeru Bajwa

, known for roles in hit Punjabi movies like Jatt & Juliet, Sardaar Ji, Shadaa, and Laung Laachi, recently talked about her early years in

Canada

. Her parents faced challenges to support the family. Neeru, set to appear in her upcoming movie Shayar, spent her childhood in Vancouver. She mentioned that her

father

had little when he moved from Punjab to Canada.

During a conversation with Lallantop Cinema, Neeru mentioned that her dad was a doctor in India, but in Canada, his medical degree didn't hold value. She shared, "My father had a degree, but at that time, Canada did not recognise that degree. In India, he was a doctor."

Neeru became emotional while talking about her parents. She shared that when her mother was pregnant with her, she worked in the housekeeping department at a hotel. With tears in her eyes, she added, "I take her to that hotel quite often now, when we go for staycations and pamper her now."

She talked about her father, mentioning that he took on various odd jobs to afford sending his children to a private school. "He worked at a farm where he would pluck berries. Then he worked at a gas station. Then he started driving a cab. After saving some money, he bought a cab and later bought another cab," she said.

Neeru remembered that she began working at the age of nine. She recollected, "I used to go on a newspaper route with my cousin and we would get paid. Then I worked as a photographer in a studio, that didn't require much skill. It was like clicking a passport size photo. I was a salesperson at a mall and I used to get minimum wage of $8 there. My last job in Vancouver was working as a cashier at a grocery store."

Neeru is excited about the upcoming movie Shayar. She will also appear in Jatt & Juliet 3 alongside Diljit Dosanjh.
