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.
