Bollywood star Bhumi Pednekar finally gets candid about the need to ‘redefine’ the role of the quintessential Hindi actress.
According to IANS Bhumi was quoted saying, "For many, it has always been about the outer physical beauty. But gone are those days when people were concerned (about only that). My thing was that it doesn't matter. I am going to change your definition of what a quintessential Hindi film female actor is all about.”
"We are all in this profession -- the idea is to perform all these different parts and be part of these amazing stories that move people, bring about a change. That is exactly what I am going to do."
Before concluding she also added that she refuses to accept the Bollywood “beauty standard” and has no intention of fitting the mold.
"I want to create a beauty standard of my own and that is exactly what I am trying to do. Through my cinema, I really want to bring about a change. I want people to love themselves, I want people to be more accepting of who they are, I want to entertain my audiences for sure and that is my number one priority. I want to leave them with a thought, a positive thought, a thought that will make their world a better place.”
