"I Have Never Compromised On The Quality Of The Script And The Role," Bhumi Pednekar —

Young Bollywood actress Bhumi Pednekar is one of those actresses who loves taking on challenges. Having won 26 acting awards in just 7 years, Bhumi has been quite impressive with her choices of films and roles.Bhumi debuted as an overweight girl in Dum Laga Ke Haisha despite people telling her it could be a career-killing move, and she won praise. She also played a lesbian girl on screen and sensitively championed the LGBTQIA+ community. All her film choices are different and extremely diverse.Bhumi said, "I will never fall into the rut of following the norm to be a leading lady in this industry. I’m aware that I’m a deviation from the rule as to how leading ladies have been on screen, and I love that. People will only remember me for the work that I do on screen. So, it is very important for me to pick the films that I feel in my gut are trying to say something new or aiming to do something extremely disruptive."Bhumi explains her point of view further, saying, "For me, the script is the only thing that matters when it comes to choosing a film. It is the age of content, and artists can only shine at their best when backed by the best scripts. I have never compromised on the quality of the script or the role that I’m playing, and that will continue to be the only thing that matters."Bhumi mentions that she never says okay to a project without seeing who is cast in it. She adds, "If you look at my filmography since my debut, you will see me choosing scripts and roles that stand out before anything else like who is making it, who is cast in it, etc. I’m only seeking out the best projects because the films I make will be my legacy."
