Here are some highlights from her candid conversation:

Expressing about body shaming and her first film, Bhumi Pednekar said, `Since my first film, my weight has been a constant topic of conversation. Whether the comments were good or bad, I have developed a certain appreciation for it, especially given the message of my debut film. However, I no longer wish to discuss my weight-there has been enough said about it. I have made a conscious decision to stop abusing my body.`

Speaking about work-life balance Bhumi said, `I believe that you should do everything in moderation, including working. Unfortunately, in India, there is a culture that makes us feel guilty for asking for a holiday. It's as if requesting a break implies, we are not dedicated to our work. This mindset overlooks the reality that burning out means we genuinely need time to rest and recharge.`

Talking about the social responsibilities and trolls on that, Bhumi said, `I can completely understand that we are doing this for PR. Of course, we are doing this for PR because I want people to be inspired by what I am doing. Every time we release something, it is cause and action-related. If I am the face of power, my greatest soft power is influence. I strive to reflect this in my films as well.`

Speaking about a co-star who shares similarities with her, she reveals, `I think Rajkummar and I have very similar value systems. His journey has been truly remarkable, and I resonate with it deeply. The way he approaches each role, with such dedication and hard work, is truly brilliant. He is someone who understands my insecurities and complexities as an actor.`
