Bold and unapologetically fierce, Bhumi Pednekar has become synonymous with shaking up conventional ways of being, especially with her movie choices. And that has been right from her debut in Bollywood, in Dum Laga Ke Haisha where she essayed the role of an overweight wife, to her recent release Badhaai Do where she plays the role of a lesbian girl who enters a marriage of convenience with a gay man. Real, rebellious, and socially relevant, Bhumi's penchant for unique storytelling has earned her respect for her craft.
Against this backdrop, one can't help but be all the more curious about her opinion on love and personal relationships. For the Brides Today Digital Cover, the 32-year-old decked up in some of the most stylish bridalwear of the season, against a backdrop of a summer picnic...the perfect ode to the outdoor, summer wedding! And when we asked her about her own wedding, whenever it takes place, Bhumi is quick to respond with views that are delightfully fresh and au courant-from hosting a completely sustainable wedding to wanting to play the part of the sexy bride”. Read this special piece to know all about Bhumi's outlook on the perfect wedding, perfect partner, and the secret to long-lasting friendships...
Nandini Bhalla: What is your definition of romance?
Bhumi Pednekar: “Earlier, I was more willing to please the other person. Love, in my books, was about submission...and that's probably why my previous relationships did not work. Today, however, I view love as compatibility, being good friends, and getting along with each other. I don't want to be with someone who tries to dim my ambition, judge me, or complain that I don't have time for them, as that has happened in the past where someone was insecure just because I was being photographed. I want to inspire my partner with my ambition, not have them feel threatened by it.
