Bhumi Pednekar’s performance in Abhishek Chaubey’s ‘Sonchiriya’ is being appreciated by the audience. The trailer of ‘Sonchiriya’ has garnered more than 3 million views on YouTube in one day. The film stars Bhumi Pednekar and Sushant Singh Rajput in the lead roles. The ‘Dum Laga Ke Haisha’ actress said that it is a reflection of what is happening in India.

Describing her feeling after being starred in such a sensitive film, Pednekar said that it was very liberating for her to be a part of this film because it’s a beautiful story of what the society can do to human life and how they come victorious out of it. She further said that she feels privileged to be a part of this movie.

Apart from the silver screen, Pednekar is also a part of the second season of ‘Quaker’s Kitchen Khanna’ and ‘Konversations’, which can be watched on Hotstar. Speaking about the web series, she was a part of the controversial Netflix series named ‘Lust Stories’ which had four different stories told by directors Karan Johar, Zoya Akhtar, Anurag Kashyap and Bibaker Banerjee.

Talking about ‘Lust Stories’ Pednekar said that she had herself watched the series along with her mother. She believes that the Indian audience has now matured to see such intimate scenes with their family members.

In an interview with the news agency IANS, Pednekar said, “I wouldn’t say I was not embarrassed. Of course, I was! But there was no discomfort once the scene was done. Honestly, I was amazed by the fact that how not a lot of people spoke about the particular scene and people spoke about everything in the film. I was surprised how much people have matured. It also speaks that if the intimate scenes are done the right way, there’s no negative or vulgar connotation attached to it. I think the audiences are mature enough to understand the finer nuances of a story.”

‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’ actress made her Bollywood debut with ‘Dum Laga Ke Haisha’ opposite Ayushmann Khurana. In her first film, she played an overweight girl who struggles to find her place in an arranged marriage.
