Bhumi Pednekar: My father was completely against me entering the film industry

Actress Bhumi Pednekar made a stunning appearance at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) 2024 in Goa. While on a panel discussion, the star shared insights into her Bollywood career. During the chat, she not only spoke about her breakout role in 'Dum Laga Ke Haisha', but also touched upon the evolving dynamics of the film industry. With the actress getting ready to celebrate her 10 years in the industry, she made a surprise revelation that her father, in particular had his reservations about her joining films.

Offering a candid look back at her debut film, which challenged conventional norms and resonated deeply with audiences, Bhumi said, "I think Dum Laga Ke Haisha is a very special film, not just to me, but also because it connected so deeply with people. It's still the first thing that they come and tell me."
