Bhumi Pednekar: Akshay sir is someone I really admire

Bhumi also has projects like "Badhaai Do" and "Mr Lele" lined up. She feels she became an actress at the right time. "I think I became an actor at a time when content started overpowering all other aspects of cinema. I realised that the language of cinema was changing and I feel very fortunate to be an active part of the change," she says.

"I think the basic mould of how an actor is, has changed and I got a big opportunity to do that through the characters I played," she says.

"The relatability of the girl next door where people felt the stories were their own, where people saw me play characters that they could relate with. I think that is something that worked with me," feels Bhumi.

"The fact that when they saw me and said they know this girl and that could be their daughter, their niece, their nephew, girlfriend, wife, or sister. I think that is one of the biggest things that has worked for me so far," she sums up.
