During her session, Bhumi emphasized the need for gender equality to achieve true sustainability, urging for greater female representation in key decision-making roles. She also shared her personal journey as a climate warrior, encouraging collective action to combat environmental challenges.
Talking about women empowerment, Bhumi shared, "Girls, have an opinion. It's so important to have a voice. And individuals that have an opinion and a voice make people uncomfortable and you will constantly be pushed into a corner. You will constantly be told, 'be quiet. Oh, you're too big for your shoes, she's such a big problem maker. She has an opinion on everything.' It's fine. That's the only way you will bring about a change. And we all are a part of this society, everything that impacts somebody else's household, somebody else's daughter, is going to impact you as well.
You know, there's a line in my film, Bhakshak, where I tell my partner, that if someone else's daughter is being mistreated, our daughter will also be mistreated. So it's time that we all truly come together and make sure that a change happens and a change happens now."
Bhumi's powerful message reinforced her support and advocacy for empowering women and building a sustainable future for the next generation.
On the work front, Bhumi Pednekar was last seen in Netflix's Bhakshak, for which she's received critical as well as audience appreciation. She also recently wrapped up shooting for her next project title 'Daldal' and she will also be seen in Netflix's 'The Royals.'
