Bollywood actress Bhumi Pednekar, who is on a three-day visit to Sikkim, expressed her wish to shoot a film in the beautiful state.

"I really hope I get to do a film here and come back to Sikkim," she said.

She further went on to applaud the state's commitment to sustainable development and environmental conservation.

Bhumi urged the other states to draw inspiration from Sikkim's climate-first approach.

Revealing that she felt a deep personal connection with the state's environmental ethos, Bhumi shared, "What I connected with most deeply is the fact that Sikkim is a climate-first, environment-first, green state. For somebody like me, whose life's passion is sustainability and environmental conservation, I resonated very deeply with everything that the state stands for."

Taken by the natural beauty of the place, Bhumi described it as "heaven on earth".

"You people are so lucky. You literally live in heaven. I don't think there was a single view that I saw and wasn't amazed by," she shared.

She went on to reveal that she had one of her most profound meditation experiences in Sikkim, thanks to the peaceful environment of the state.

"I was telling my friends that one of the quickest and strongest meditation sessions I have ever had happened here because of the energy and vibrations of this place."

Shedding light on Sikkim's praiseworthy achievements in the environmental sector, Bhumi credited the residents and policymakers of the state for prioritising sustainability and ecological conservation.

"Now more than ever, we need climate-first policies. Other states should get inspired by what Sikkim is doing, whether it is the ban on single-use plastics or the general empathy and love towards nature," added the 'Pati Patni Aur Woh' actress.

Work-wise, Bhumi is gearing up for season two of her acclaimed series, "Daldal".

She has also been roped in for a romantic comedy, co-starring Imran Khan.
