It has been an "overwhelming" year for Bhumi Pednekar. After kicking off 2019 with Sonchiriya, she followed it up with Saand Ki Aankh, Bala and Pati Patni Aur Woh. "The benchmark for what I expect of myself is so high right now that I hope I can keep meeting it," she smiles.

While her remaining films hit the bull's eye, Abhishek Chaubey's dacoit drama proved to be a washout at the box office. "It is heartbreaking that the film didn't get its due. For me, it will always be at the top of my filmography as it taught me a lot. Abhishek changed me as an actor. The film required a lot from me — I was playing a rape survivor who had a child marriage. I couldn't have tapped into those emotions without Abhishek's guidance."
