Bhumi Pednekar:

I crave for versatilit­y as an actor

- The Times of India

BHUMI Pednekar, who has three films lined up for release, said she craves for versatilit­y as an actress. She will be seen in Saand Ki Aankh, Bala and Pati

Patni Aur Woh in the coming months. “I crave for versatilit­y as an actor and my next three films will showcase my diversity of choosing films. All three are incredible scripts and are films that are close to my heart. Interestin­gly Saand Ki Aankh and Bala have an important message that will touch the hearts of audiences because of the social commentary present in the scripts. Pati, Patni Aur Woh is a superb script that will stand out,” Bhumi said.

Ever since her debut in 2015 with Dum

Laga Ke Haisha, Bhumi has been seen in films as different as chalk and cheese.

She was seen in movies like Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, Shubh Mangal Saavdhan,

and Sonchiriya.

Her next three films once again aim to showcase Bhumi’s versatilit­y. In

Saand Ki Aankh, she plays the world’s oldest sharpshoot­er Prakashi Tomar. In Bala, she plays someone who is fiercely proud of how she looks and doesn’t conform to societal obsession for fair skin.

In Pati, Patni Aur Woh, Bhumi will be seen romancing Kartik Aryan in a story that will bring out her fun side.

Bhumi said these three films have challenged her as an actor.

“It is an age of good content and these films will take their place among some of the gems that our industry has recently produced. All three roles have challenged me as an actor and pushed me to do better and I certainly hope that audiences will love what I have done because I have given my heart and soul to bring these characters to life,” she added.
