The Star Of The Spectrum - Bhumi Pednekar

The interview takes place on a breezy Thursday as I sit down with umpteen questions that run through my mind. Our latest issue’s cover star needs no introduction. Bhumi Pednekar has managed to win the hearts of cinephiles as well as those who aren’t ardent cinemagoers (like me) alike. Unlike many who have a cinematic legacy to bank on, Pednekar had to climb her way up, charting a rather unconventional (she played an overweight small-town girl in her debut and will portray a 65-year-old in her latest film, ‘Saand Ki Aankh’) but promising path for herself. She doesn’t shy away from sharing her journey and is pretty upfront about the years prior to her debut. Her energy is palpable as we discuss our current reads (she almost squeals in delight as I mention that I am reading ‘Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix’). Wedding Affair (WA) gets into a candid and refreshing conversation with one of the most intelligent and talented artistes of our Indian film industry — Bhumi Pednekar (BP).

Make Way For The Boho Bride

Weddings are supposed to be an extravagant affair for the bride and she doesn’t stop herself from going the extra mile. From creating Pinterest boards to scrounging fashion magazines and blogs, brides put in a hell lot of effort to get an idea of what they are going to wear for the wedding, pre-wedding and post-wedding functions. It’s her special day and she has every right to look nothing less than a Goddess. Every bride wants to try out something that suits her personality. Many millennial brides are opting for rich dark colours that were earlier deemed as too ‘gloomy’ for joyous occasions. Wedding Affair brings to you four different ways in which brides can give a boho twist to their trousseau.

And then, the celebrations galore, wrapped in the warm rituals of Kashmiri Brahmin culture set off.

The One Who Lights Your Soul

So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. While the man slept, the Lord God took out one of the man’s ribs and closed up the opening. Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib, and he brought her to the man. “At last!”, the man exclaimed. “This one is bone from my bone, and flesh from my flesh! She will be called ‘woman’, because she was taken from ‘man’.” This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one. - The Book Of Genesis 2:21-24, New Living Translation
