Bhumi Pednekar: Woman who is the agent of change is rare in Indian cinema

Actor Bhumi Pednekar is soaking in the all the love that is coming her way for her brilliant performance in Bhakshak. Bhumi is getting unanimous praise for her incredibly deft but brilliant acting in the thriller in which she plays a daredevil journalist who takes on a girl trafficking nexus!

Bhumi is thrilled that Bhakshak puts a woman as the agent of change, as the shero, something that few Indian film-makers have done. A woman standing up for fellow women and protecting them by risking her life is what makes Bhakshak a successful entertainer.

Bhumi says, “As an actor, nothing is more joyous than unanimous praise from the film industry, media and audience about one’s performance. I’m very emotional and passionate about my work, every film of mine has a special place in my heart. For me, Bhakshak is at the top of that heap because of the powerful story that it is saying and also because I play a woman who is the agent of change.”

She adds, “That is rare in Indian cinema as very few films empower a woman be leaders of change, to be the ones who better society. I have always believed in playing women who are powerful, who contribute to nation building and who empower fellow women to stand up against injustice, patriarchy & are vocal about their rights and needs.”

Bhumi further says, “I thank my director Pulkit , Red Chillies and the writer Jyotsana Nath for giving me a project that has allowed me to act from my heart. I’m thrilled with the love that is coming my way. It tells me that I have picked a right project that has touched the hearts of people. It also tells me that people want to see me do meaningful stories that are content forward.”
