Bhumi Pednekar completes 4 years in Bollywood; reveals details about her character in Karan Johar’s Takht
After back-to-back hit films such as Toilet: Ek Prem Kathaand Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, Bhumi Pednekar has carved a niche for herself in the film industry. Bhumi made her Bollywood debut with Sharat Katariya’s Dum Laga Ke Haisha and went on to star along with Akshay Kumar, in the Shree Narayan Singh directorial. The actress, who has 5 releases this year, is gearing for the release of her next film titled Sonchiriya. Not only this, the actress today completed four years in the film industry, and in a recent interview, she revealed how she felt.
In a report published by Bombay Times, Bhumi was quoted as saying, “It’s giving me goosebumps. I’ve always wanted to be an actor as this is the only thing I know how to do but since I don’t belong to a film family, I wasn’t sure. But my parents gave me a good education and the freedom to follow my dreams. Dum Laga Ke Haisha set the ball rolling and Toilet: Ek Prem Katha took it a notch higher. I lost my father a few years ago before I became an actor and today, I think he’s my guardian angel, guiding my career. All the characters I’ve played so far have been diversely different, none of them are from a rich background but they have been rich in emotions.”
The actress will also be seen in Karan Johar’s multi-starrer film Takht, and Bhumi gave an insight into her character that she essays in the film. She said, “I can’t talk about it except to say there’s a project in which you will see me be the most modern I can be. Also, in Karan Johar’s Takht, I will look the richest you have seen me. Karan has made me Mughal-rich.”
Meanwhile, along with Bhumi, Sonchiriya will also star Sushant Singh Rajput, Ashutosh Rana, and Manoj Bajpayee, in a pivotal role. The film is slated to release on March 1 this year.
