Bhumi Pednekar: “The gap between my films didn’t bother me”

Bhumi Pednekar claimed her moment to fame when she starred with Ayushmann Khurrana in ‘Dum Laga Ke Haisha’ (2015).  However, after that she has had a gap, and she refers to this as being ‘well planned’.  She is back with two films coming up.

According to Times of India, she will be involved with working with Akshay Kumar in ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’ and again with Khurrana in ‘Shubh Mangal Saavdhan’.

The actress had to put on much weight in her latest film and she said, “The gap between my films didn’t bother me. There was always a plan that I will take at least eight months to shed the kilos I gained for ‘Dum Laga Ke Haisha’. I was busy getting back to being Bhumi.”

She stated she was busy enjoying the success of her role as opposed to focussing on the gap between her first and second film,  “Nothing changed drastically in my life due to that gap as in any case I wouldn’t have been able to do any film. It really didn’t bother me at all. It probably did shift my life back by a few months. But I was normal. It never came across as a problem for me. It was all good as I was enjoying the success I gained after ‘Dum Laga Ke Haisha'”.

She continued, “I am discovering myself as a career oriented person. But as far as I understand myself, I like to complete one project and then switch on to another. I want to give my 100 per cent to a film.”

She is happy to take on multiple roles, and stated, “I am also an extremely greedy actor. So, if there comes a point in my career when I have to work on more than one film, I will do it. Life changes everyday so I am okay with it.”
