On her debut in 2015, Bollywood actress Bhumi Pednekar took critics by surprise, and won awards, by playing an overweight bride who speaks up for her rights in the romantic comedy ‘Dum Laga Ke Haisha’. Since then, Bhumi Pednekar has given a string of hits with meaningful cinema. But she has recently revealed that she’s shy to call herself a star, reports Times of India.
She was seen in ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’, ‘Shubh Mangal Savdhaan’, ‘Saand Ki Aankh’, ‘Bala’, ‘Pati Patni Aur Woh’ and ‘Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare’, and many more such critically acclaimed films.
But is Bhumi comfortable with the ‘star tag? In an interview with media, the actress, who started out as an assistant to Shanoo Sharma, made the confession: “I am a little shy to call myself a star.”
She insists she is an actor who has received a lot of love. Bhumi said: “I think the definition of stardom has changed across different generations. But yes, I am grateful that my films are appreciated and people love me and I am going to continue doing whatever I do on and off screen.”
Talking about her on-screen roles, the actress has always picked the meaningful roles and offered some insights to the topics that are often neglected or talked less about. Whether it was the importance of having a toilet for women or about an overweight girl trying to achieve her goals and find love. The actress has always got it right. Speaking about the same she says, “I feel that’s how films in the future would also be. If someone is spending two hours watching a film, or my piece of content, it must lead to some kind of a positive change in their mindset.”
