They were always popular, I feel a lot of actors /actresses are Sindhi or Punjabi, lot of creatives too. Bachpan se dekhe too many shows set in Punjab (Punjab , Gujarat or Maharashtra, West Bengal at times)
Let me share a funny thing. One of my colleagues who is a different city was chatting with me one day. We had gotten introduced for the first time (virtually and not in person). He was a little funny and odd and he was a Punjabi. My original name (will not divulge here) matches with an actress in Bollywood. That guy said "Oh you are this this actress. I like this actress so much". There are so many Benagli actresses in Bolly previously and most heroes are from Punjab (he wanted to imply he was the hero). I just could not hold back laugh. It is true that most heroes in Bolly are from Punjab and the most Bolly songs have Punjabi dialects.
So Punjab rules in the media. EKta Kapoor though brought in the Gujrati and Marathi families to the household TV (I mean in hindi serials).
