There is persona and there is reality in Bhumi Pednekar. She has approached both life and work on her own terms and transcended stardom by igniting a green mission. Nupur Sarvaiya finds out what is it to be an acclaimed actor, a climate crusader and a voice of change today.

Bhumi, REBEL BELLE

Change is an intimidating word, riddled with effort, expectation, fear and failure. As a kid I was taught small steps equal big differences. But I am definitely hardwired to resist change. Bhumi Pednekar gives me some sage advice with a relatable metaphor. When driving a car if you shift the wheel just a little, it can change your path. One degree shifts is the actor’s inherent way of life too, be it style, state of health or sustainability.

“Begin with simple steps. Carry a cloth bag to the market. Say NO to single-use plastic. Buy what you need and re-purpose and re-cycle clothes, accessories, bags etc. Plant a few house plants, and care for them. Watching them bloom and grow is special. Switch off unused power points and unplug your electronic devices when not in use. If possible, switch to electric vehicles. Recycle your waste and adopt composting. Simple changes that can save the planet, save you money and time, go a long way,” Bhumi tells me. Despite being an artist with access to almost everything, her choices have been informed and intentional. A climate warrior, outspoken feminist and voice for change, Bhumi was an early adopter of sustainable fashion, focused on advocacy for women and those marginalised, cracked open taboos with cinema, positively used her impact and influence to promote and rally for brands and causes that represent her beliefs, and has looked for connection and resonance everywhere she can find it.
