Bhumi won a million hearts with an unconventional debut as the overweight Sandhya. Her sizzling chemistry onscreen with co-star Ayushmann Khuranna and her portrayal of the young and ambitious woman broke the Bollywood stereotypes and gave the industry a fresh new perspective.
While bagging the award, the sexy and fit Bhumi said `I am very excited to have won this award. It feels really great when you are appreciated for your work and I would definitely dedicate this award to Shanoo because she was the first one who got me introduced to this world, who believed in me and who thought I should always act. This award has motivated me to even work better, to work harder and to perform better.
