She may have no “filmy” background, but Bhumi Pednekkar has carved her own space in the ever-evolving entertainment industry. From Dum Laga Ke Haisha to Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare and Badhaai Do, the actor has showcased both talent and versatility.

Bhumi Pednekar on SRK praising her
When asked about when she felt accepted in the industry, she revealed, “My first film was widely watched and adulated, and I saw that the day it was released.”
She was appreciated by none other than King Khan for her role. Calling him an individual who is just great, she said, “I met him at YRF, and he appreciated me a lot for my film, and I couldn't believe what was happening. I wasn't prepared to have an SRK experience, and he was shooting for a film there. I met him at the cafe area. He invited me, and it was incredible because of the way he makes you feel. There was a lot of love in that room and a lot of learning.”
Bhumi on Shah Rukh Khan’s humble gesture
She further added how the superstar woos all with his humble persona and shared, “When you meet people who are at his place, what I am seeking is learning. What impresses you is how humble he is. While he is speaking to you, there could be anybody in his periphery, but he is with you. That's respect; that's character. We have heard stories about how he receives and sees you off, and all of it is true.”
Talking about whether she has ever received a letter from Amitabh Bachchan for her work, she averred, “It is a big motivation in my life, and I am waiting for that letter.”
