Quotes
Bhumi Pednekar
Indian actress known for her roles in films like Dum Laga Ke Haisha and The Royals.
“I left movies. I had to return signing amounts. I had to say no to a cheque, which is a lot. It was not just about not doing the films, but reducing my presence in the world of media. So, it was saying no to a lot of award shows and fashion events. I wanted to just cut off. I wanted to go through that experience of what it feels like to just be by myself. If I was to lose everything, will I survive? And I know I will survive.”

“I didn’t have any real experiences left in me that I could extend to my craft. And that scared me. One of the biggest fears I always had was I don’t ever want to be mediocre, and I think I reached there. It was important for me to accept that and not be in denial. Because I know what I’m capable of doing. I went back and watched some of my work because I was lost. I was like, can I actually act? Do I have it in me?”
