Bhumi Pednekar, recognized for her bold choice of socially conscious roles, made an impact with her performance in Bhakshak earlier this year. The film not only highlights her commitment to her craft but has also shaped her perspective on the types of stories she wants to pursue in her career.Reflecting on how Bhakshak has shaped her journey, Bhumi shared, “I am anyways am very empathetic and I feel Bhakshak has just turned me into somebody who wants to leave behind a way larger impact through my work. I think I was anyways on that path, but by doing a Bhakshak it’s given me a lot more clarity of what the next decade for me is going to be like. I’m not chasing projects, I’m only chasing stories, and stories that impact, in every genre.”Her performances resonate with a wide audience, particularly those from smaller towns and rural areas, reflecting the realities of their lives and struggles in a way that few mainstream actors do. This vision aligns with Bhumi’s upcoming projects, including the much-anticipated Daldal and Royals, both set to release in the upcoming year.
