Actress Bhumi Pednekar is known for her prolific acting skills. She started off her career by portraying the character of a strong-headed small town woman. If you take a peep at her social media, your jaws may drop to the floor. The actress often turns heads and gives the fashion police a run for their money with her smoking-hot and avant-garde looks. Did you know that she made her debut in the films as an overweight bride by gaining 15 kg for her role? Bhumi Pednekar worked as an assistant casting director at Yash Raj Films for about six years and then decided to turn to acting. She starred opposite Ayushmann Khurrana in the romantic comedy, Dum Laga Ke Haisha in 2015. She had to gain 15 kilos to portray the role of Sandhya Verma. It won her the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut. The film emerged to be a hit and later, she belted out another two hits that cemented her place as an actress in the industry.
After the success of Dum Laga Ke Haisha, the actress was praised for her screen presence and acting skills. She was soon roped in Akshay Kumar’s Toilet: Ek Prem Katha in 2017, which was again well-received by cine-goers. She was reunited with her debut film’s co-star in Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, which was headlined by Ayushmann Khurrana.

She won the Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actress twice for her role as a septuagenarian sharpshooter- Chandro Tomar in Saand Ki Aankh, opposite Taapsee Pannu and as a closeted lesbian in Badhaai Do opposite Rajkummar Rao.
Despite giving three back-to-back hits, the actress’ career saw a decline after films like Govinda Mera Naam, Thank You For Coming and Bheed, all of which did not do well at the box office. As per reports, the actress charges Rs 4 crore per film and has a net worth of Rs 15 crore. She was last seen in the film Bhakshak, which was released this year.
