Women are more often than not considered as multitaskers. Though they are mostly known to create a balance between personal and professional life, here in the Punjabi industry we have actresses and singers dealing with the multiverse of entertainment. Read on to know about the beauties who didn’t limit their career to just acting or singing, but explored other domains and raised the bar.

Even after being two decades old in the Punjabi film industry, Neeru Bajwa can give any newbie run for the money when it comes to beauty and talent. The actress is known to pull off any character with utmost ease and finesse. However, acting is not just the only domain the diva deals in. Neeru Bajwa is also a producer and director. The year 2016 marked her first production venture, ‘Channo Kamli Yaar Di’, a women-centric film that struck a chord with the audience. Next in 2017, besides being the producer, she donned the director’s cap for the movie ‘Sargi’. The movie featured Neeru's sister, Rubina in the lead along with Jassie Gill and Babbal Rai.

The concept of male singers turning into actors or actors turning into singers is quite a thing in the Punjabi entertainment world, but the industry hasn’t seen much of female actresses stepping into the shoes of a singer. However, times have changed now and Mandy Takhar is an example of the same. Recently known for breaking her stereotypical image of a docile girl with a strong character in ‘Khido Khundi’, Mandy proved that she is more than what meets the eye. Another trinket that the diva added in her trove is her debut song ‘Lado Rani’. Released in collaboration with the phenomenal Dr. Zeus, ‘Lado Rani’ introduced Mandy as a singer. The track is peppy with fun lyrics and upbeat music; thus, in no time it was up on the charts.

The drop dead gorgeous actress Mahie Gill has been stealing the show ever since she stepped into the world of entertainment. Being the epitome of beauty and sheer talent, Mahie has earned fame in both Pollywood and Bollywood. But all that love only left Mahie to crave for more, and thus, she decided to step into the field of production. With the 2016 release ‘Aatishbaazi Ishq’, the actress turned into a producer. Though lining things as a producer wasn’t an easy task for the actress, it gave her an amazing learning experience and a new way to contribute to the growth of Punjabi cinema. In an interview with TimesOfIndia.com, Mahie had told us that for her next production venture she is looking for some good Hindi script. Perhaps, a tour to B-town as a producer is on the cards.

Besides Mandy Takhar, another beauty that made her way into the Punjabi music industry is Himanshi Khurana. The diva needs no introduction, as the lady has been the face of most of the hit Punjabi songs, be it peppy, sad or romantic. Recently with the release of ‘High Standard’, Himanshi made her singing debut in the industry. The song created a buzz on the internet for all the right reasons. Firstly, Himanshi’s voice had the right magic to cast a spell and secondly, the song had everything from fancy cars, to exotic locations to the beautiful Himanshi herself.

On one hand, where actresses tried to pull some strings in the music industry, singer Sunanda Sharma tried stepping into the shoes of an actress. With the release of ‘Sajjan Singh Rangroot’, Sunanda made her grand entry into Punjabi cinema. Cast opposite Diljit Dosanjh, the artist played the role of a sweet and innocent village girl. Though it was her first time on the 70mm, we have to admit that her effortlessness on the screen didn’t give a feeling that it was her debut movie.
