"You Are Such An Inspiration To Me Too," Priyanka Chopra Praises Bhumi Pednekar’s Choice Of Films at Jio MAMI

Priyanka Chopra on Bhumi Pednekar

Priyanka Chopra recently came to Mumbai to attend the Jio MAMI opening ceremony, and yesterday she attended the masterclass session as well. The session was called "The Mind of an Actor" and was hosted by Bollywood actress Bhumi Pednekar, who is inspired by Chopra’s trajectory as an artist. But at this session, Priyanka praised Bhumi and called the Dum Laga Ke Haisha actress her inspiration.

Priyanka Chopra addressed Bhumi, saying, “You knew you wanted to be an actor. You knew from when you were very young that Ye Mumbai Nagri Meri Hai, mujhe yaha naam banana hai. Mere liye ye nahi tha. I will talk about my journey as someone who was dropped into this profession as an actor, and I am a hustler. Ap mujhe kuch bhi dedo karne ke liye mai karlungi. Either I do it 100% or I don't attach my name to it.”

PC added, “I've been like that since I was a kid. So, I created my career through hustling, but you are such an inspiration to me too because your journey has been so wonderful, Bhumi, in terms of the choices you've made, the characters that you've chosen, and just the dignity with which you support your characters.”

Priyanka Chopra asked Bhumi, “How much weight did you have to put on for Dum Laga Ke?” Bhumi replied, “I put on more than 30 kg; after that, I stopped counting. Once I touched 95 kilos, that's it!” Priyanka Chopra hailed Bhumi here, saying, “You were so amazing; I mean, the weight and all were great, but just your acting, man. You were amazing!”
