BHUMI PEDNEKAR SHARES HER FASHION AND STYLE MANTRAS WITH TANISHA BHATTACHARYA
Out of the CLOSET

Bhumi Pednekar has always been known more for her acting chops than her wardrobe choices, then she spoke about her passion for clothes and cleared the mis conception. She says she has never given a thought to what people say and has always worn what she thought was best. She's keen to experiment more now as she has realised that's part and parcel of being a star. She's all for sustainable fashion and for making a statement through clothes.

In a heart-to-heart chat, Bhumi explains her sartorial philosophy. Excerpts:

In a recent interview with Filmfare, you talked about how, in the early days, you didn't have much money and your focus was on being creative with the clothes you had. Can you take us back to that period before you became an actor?

Fashion has always been a passion of mine. As a child, I would see beautiful outfits on screen and ask my parents to find similar ones for me.

My mom shared my love for fashion; she had this stunning multi-colored gown from her teacher that I wore to a friend's wedding. We've recycled many of her pieces over the years. Before I became an actor, I used to shop at Sarojini Market in Delhi.

I'd pick up various items, and every weekend, we'd visit our local tailor, who would always expect some alteration. I've always loved dressing up and my family knew that about me from a young age.

What's your style like?

My style is quite versatile; it can be both tailored and minimal or maximal, depending on my mood.

I'm always evolving and experimenting with my look. Whether I keep it subtle or go all out, I'm constantly thinking about how to add a unique twist and make it stand out.

We've always known Bhumi as an actor, but when did you decide you wanted fashion critics and enthusiasts to take notice of your style as well? Do you get involved in your promotional looks?
