One movie old actress Bhumi Pednekar's life took a 360 degree turn when she got accolades from the Bollywood industry for her debut film 'Dum Laga Ke Haisha.'
The 26-year-old actress, who has been nominated for Best Debut Actor (Female) category in TOIFA2016 for film 'Dum Laga Ke Haisha' says she is fortunate to bag the nomination.
From putting on 30 kgs for a first-time role as Ayushmann Khurrana's plus-sized gharelu wife in 'Dum Laga Ke Haisha' to being back to a pretty head-turner, Mumbai's very own Bhumi Pednekar is thanking her stars for the right moves she made at the beginning of her film career.
Speaking on the nomination, Bhumi said, "Firstly, I would like to thank TOIFA for nominating me. It's an honour for me to be sharing space with actors that have given great performances. When your work is appreciated, it just motivates you to do better. And specially for your first film, which in itself is very special."
"Dum Laga Ke Haisha changed my life. It has given me a chance to make a career out of the only thing I know and love to do. To get a chance to work with such a phenomenal director and team is very rare for your first and I am really indebted to Adi sir (Aditya Chopra), Sharat (Director Sharat Katariya) and Maneesh (Producer Maneesh Sharma) for giving me this chance and making this life--changing movie", she added.
The actress will soon be seen in 'Manmarziyan' opposite Ayushmann Khurrana and the actress looks stunning after shedding all the extras kilos.
