SEE PIC: Bhumi Pednekar is Strong, Sexy and Unstoppable on this magazine cover
Breakthrough actress Bhumi Pednekar, who has won our hearts with films such as Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, Shubh Mangal Saavdhan and Dum Lage Ke Haisha, is the perfect mix of beauty and grit.
Hailed as one of the gen-next stars of Bollywood, Bhumi perfectly fits the bill of ‘Strong, Sexy and Unstoppable’, as rightly put by the cover feature of a leading magazine.
With a dauntless look and some really stunning jewellery, Bhumi has totally slayed it on the magazine cover in a intricate floral dress.

Speaking of the three strong characters she has failed so far - Sandhya, Jaya and Sugandha - Bhumi earlier told The Hindu, “Their worlds might be similar but these girls were individuals in their own way. Sandhya Verma was completely unaware what modernisation can do to someone. Though she was educated and knew the value of self respect, her dreams and aspirations had more to do with the man she was with. In Toilet..., Jaya was a firecracker. Through her, I wanted to show that clothes don’t define you as urban or rural. It is your thought. And Jaya’s thought was very progressive. She didn’t mind putting on a veil as a custom but that didn’t mean she won’t raise her voice against unjust practices. She was not a rebel without a cause."
All along her career, Bhumi has aligned herself with interesting films that do not conform to a set formula. Her debut role was of an educated overweight girl in Dum Laga Ke Haisha for which she won a Filmfare award for Best Female Debut.
“Being overweight was linked to being depressed for a long time and I was happy that a film like Dum Laga Ke Haisha changed that thinking," Bhumi was quoted saying by Outlook magazine.
She also insisted that doing good roles has been her only priority ever since and she has always been on the lookout for the perfect opportunity and the right script.
“I grabbed onto films like Toilet: Ek Prem Katha and Shubh Mangal Savdhan because they were important roles written for an actress. I feel I am lucky if I can make a difference to even one life through the films I do," Bhumi said, adding that her characters in these movies were driven by their thoughts and not ‘by their clothes’.
Speaking about her upcoming projects, Bhumi was quoted by the Herald Goa as saying, “The only film I can speak about right now is Chambal, which I will start shooting in the next few weeks. It is being directed by Abhishek Chaubey. He is one of the brightest minds in our country right now and my co-star is Sushant Singh Rajput in the film.”
