Actor Bhumi Pednekar has candidly reflected on certain decisions in her profession, acknowledging that there have been times she agreed to roles that, in hindsight, felt like missteps. She made these remarks during an interaction on the We The Women event, where industry figures discuss issues related to creativity, gender and representation.
Bhumi Pednekar admits to past profession missteps: ‘I diluted my agency’
When asked whether she has any regrets about her film selections, Bhumi didn’t draw back from admitting that ambition and box-office pressures had played a task. “I even have made mistakes,” she said, noting that certainly one of her biggest missteps got here when she felt she had diluted the agency she had worked hard to construct as an actor. “At times you’re just tempted because you would like that ₹200 crore hit,” she added.
Despite the honest reflection, Bhumi emphasized her skilled boundaries. “What I might not compromise on is that I might not do a personality where there’s disrespect to my gender. I wouldn’t try this,” she stressed, underlining that certain standards remain non-negotiable for her. She didn’t name any specific projects when referring to the roles she now views as mistakes and said she prefers to steer clear of unnecessary noise round her work.
Bhumi, known for a string of performance-driven movies equivalent to Dum Laga Ke Haisha, Saand Ki Aankh, Sonchiriya and Badhaai Do, said she’s careful about her selections and would quite have fewer roles than ones that don’t align together with her values. “I even have worked very, very hard to create an area which is led by performance,” she said, adding that diluting that focus was a mistake she would avoid going forward.
