Bhumi Pednekar, an actress known for her diverse and intriguing roles throughout her career, initially portrayed a plus-sized character in her debut film. Recently, she shared her experience of being body-shamed by online trolls and expressed admiration for Shehnaaz Gill, her co-star in Thank You For Coming.
In an interview with a leading news portal, Bhumi said, “No matter what you do, people will troll. Trolling has become so normal now. I could put up a post during a festival in a so-called ‘fully clothed’ version of myself and people will still troll. During promotions, we went all out looking like the best versions of ourselves.”
She further said, “Earlier, only family members used to troll you but now it has spread far and wide beyond your home. I’ve developed a thick skin now because I’ve been hearing things like how I would start looking more beautiful if I lose a few kilos, right since my childhood. I was questioned as to why I wear short dresses.”
Bhumi pointed out the double standards of online bullies who use vulgar language towards women in the guise of cultural preservation. She commended Shehnaaz Gill for having the courage to read such comments but admitted that she herself avoids reading anything at all.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Bhumi will next be seen in Bhakshak. She will also be co-starring with Arjun Kapoor in two films: the thriller The Lady Killer and the comedy Meri Patni Ka Remake.
