Bhumika Chawla’s major appearance in a Hindi film is certainly Tere Naam, where she was paired opposite Bollywood star Salman Khan. In a recent interview, Bhumika was asked if like other female actors, Salman played a ‘solid support system’ for her or if he ‘influenced’ Bhumika’s life or career in any way.

“I don’t see it that way. Influence is a very strong word…I don’t think I had that much interaction with him on a personal front. We were very cordial and nice, but I was never really close to him. And so I don’t think I could get influenced by him in any such manner,” Bhumika told Times Of India.
