What is so special about Bhumi Pednekar? - Page 2

In every era there has been a heroine who was best suited for simple, ordinary girl roles too.

Bhumi is the Jaya Bhaduri or Vidya Sinha of this era doing all those simple, ordinary girl next door roles.

I like her choices of roles and films. Whether it was the one in which she played an obese woman or the one in which she played a dark skinned lawyer. Her films usually have message against body shaming.

And she fits roles of small town or village girl very well.

Her not having a super model type body or cosmopolitan image helps her get such roles which require more earthy characters.

Bhumi is talented. And good to watch in films on TV even if she is not a big ticket star for big screens.

What? Who said she is special?

Nothing lol, she's mediocre af in pretty much every department and has started giving off insecure/bitchy vibes lately as well.

As others have mentioned, her dad was an INC minister, which is probably why she keeps getting projects.

What's with YRF and launching politicians' kids in BW? Bhumi then that girl from Aadar Jain's debut film, Anya Singh then Sharvari Wagh... all are politicians' grand/daughters.

YRF is being smart by launching politicians' kids and keeping politicians happy. Considering how political parties target film stars, films and let their IT cells loose to abuse, slander and run conspiracy theories against stars and films, it makes sense if industry wants to keep politicians in good humour. The moment politicians and their relatives are in film business they will know how high the stakes are and will avoid taking panga with production houses and films or stars at drop of a hat the way they do now.

YRF is very smart that way. Yash Chopra directed music videos based on Atal Behari Vajpayee's poems for free in mid 2000s and also got SRK to act in them for free back then. That is how he kept close to politicians and won their favours. His son seems to be practising similar shrewdness to keep politicians pleased.
