Bhumi Pednekar says she will only pick projects that ‘inspires’ her: ‘My work will immortalise me’

Time and again, Bhumi has proven her mettle with awe-inspiring performances that have left both critics and audiences spellbound. With every role, she delves deep into the essence of her characters, bringing authenticity and sincerity to her portrayals.

Bhumi added, “I feel I’m responsible for leaving a mark through my movies because films are a part of our cultural legacy. What we create now, will be remembered and be dissected in the years to come just as films from before stand the test of time or are questioned now for what they tried to say. Art is almost immortal.”

Bhumi has been gathering appreciation ever since her debut in Dum Laga Ke Haisha and has emerged as an artist who has carved a niche for herself.

“I have always wanted to be a female actor who had a cultural impact through my films and the kind of roles that I played. So, I have and I will always pick projects that inspire me to deliver my best. I’m very well aware that I’m creating a legacy for myself through my work and I want to be proud of the work that I do on screen.”

Bhumi was recently seen in Sudhir Mishra’s film Afwaah, which also starred Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Sharib Hashmi and Sumeet Vyas. She will now be seen in The Lady Killer.
