Early life

Matheson Secondary School)[12] drop-out who had little interest in studies and was always inspired by the glamour of Bollywood, so she moved to Mumbai to fulfill her dreams.[13]

Career

Bajwa started her career in Indian soap operas in 2005 with Hari Mirchi Lal Mirchi[14] on DD1 before moving on to Astitva...Ek Prem Kahani on Zee TV followed by Jeet on Star Plus and then Guns and Roses on STAR One.[15]

In January 2013, Bajwa appeared in the multi-starer Punjabi film Saadi Love Story, produced by Jimmy Sheirgill productions, directed by Dheeraj Rattan and starring Diljit Dosanjh, Amrinder Gill, and Surveen Chawla. She paired up opposite Diljit Dosanjh again in the film Jatt and Juliet 2 which broke all the previous opening day collection records for Punjabi cinema.[16] In August 2013, her film, Naughty Jatts was released in which she featured along with Binnu Dhillon, Arya Babbar and Roshan Prince. The film got mixed reviews from critics.[17]

Bajwa debuted as a director in 2017 with the Punjabi film Sargi, which stars her sister Rubina Bajwa in the leading role alongside Jassi Gill and Babbal Rai.[18] She also owns a production company called Neeru Bajwa Entertainment. In November 2019, Bajwa starrer and produced film Beautiful Billo went on floors, in which she will be sharing the screen with her sister Rubina Bajwa.[19] Since April 2021, Bajwa is hosting a Punjabi show Jazba.[20] In 2024, Bajwa acted in Shayar, co-starring Satinder Sartaaj.[21] 5 Dariya News remarked on the brilliance of their performances quoting, "Shayar is a film just made for Satinder Sartaaj who in just his second punjabi film has proved his worth as an actor, but we can't take away the credits from Neeru Bajwa the way she anchored herself alongside Sartaaj was commendable."[22]

Jatt & Juliet 3 became the fastest Punjabi film to cross the ₹100-crore (US $12.5 million) worldwide mark, setting a new industry record.[23][24]

The title track of Laung Laachi, featuring Bajwa and sung by Mannat Noor, became the first Indian song to surpass one billion views on YouTube in December 2019 and has crossed 1.5 billion views as of June 2025.[25][26]
