Bollywood star Bhumi Pednekar, who has been essaying roles
of a small town and middle-class girl in movies like "Dum Laga Ke
Haisha", "Toilet: Ek Prem Katha" and "Shubh Mangal
Saavdhan", tells in real life she loves to dress up and that vanity comes
with the entertainment business.
Bhumi has been caught up doing promotional activities for
two of her movies in the last few months.
Questioned if it was a tiring process for a creative mind to
answer the same questions to the media regarding movies or speaking on the same
topic widely, Bhumi said, "I am not bored of promoting my films because
this is a new process for me. Though acting and shooting are more interesting
than promotional activities. As long as I am wearing beautiful clothes and
dressing up, I am happy. I love vanity as a woman in real life.”
"Yes, I play those girls next door image on screen, but
off camera, I always take two hours to get ready. Whether I am going to meet my
friends, party or film promotion, I am such a girly girl who takes a long time
in front of the mirror to dress up. I am a typical Mumbai girl…You know what I
mean," she further added.
Bhumi is trying to make her mark in the film industry with
offbeat movies, breaking the image of a conventional heroine of Bollywood.
Questioned if she feels the need to be a part of the race of
becoming a quintessential heroine, she responded, "I see no reason for
saying no to a good story. It is more challenging for a Mumbai girl like me to
play a small town girl I have no connection with. And whether it is about open
defecation or on an issue like erectile dysfunction, these films are all iconic
that have been made the first time in Indian cinema. So, I feel lucky to be a
part of that history by doing these films."
