Bhumi Pednekar opens up about fitness journey, handling trolls about her look: 'There was a time when I was 96 kg...'

Bhumi Pednekar talks about the criticism on her appearance

Bhumi Pednekar weighed about 100 kg when she made her Bollywood debut in Dum Laga Ke Haisha. The actress has now shown an immense dedication to her fitness journey and dropped a noticeable amount of weight.

The actor has since embarked on a quest for self-love and fitness. However, Bhumi acknowledges that one must learn to love oneself because body image problems never completely go away.

Bhumi talks candidly about her on- and off-screen physical changes and acknowledges that she's still developing. She also describes how she distances herself from trolls who make disparaging remarks about her appearance.

The actress frequently experiences harsh trolling because of her physical transformation and appearance. However, Bhumi admitted that she is still unmoved by the same.

In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, Bhumi addressed the trolls and said, “Well, the thing is that I have seen both ends of the spectrum. There was a time when I was 96 kg, and there were opinions then. Now, I look different, and there are opinions now.”

On the work front, Bhumi Pednekar was last seen in Mere Husband Ki Biwi alongside Arjun Kapoor, Rakul Preet Singh, and Harsh Gujral, among others, in the lead role. She has 3-4 projects in her pipeline.

The actress will be seen in Amazon Prime Video’s Daldal. She is also gearing up for the second season of The Royals.
