Bhumi Pednekkar has often spoken about the deep bond she shared with her father and the lasting influence he had on her life. In an exclusive segment on mid-day’s Sit With Hitlist, the actress reflected on his political journey, revealing how he stepped away from an active career to prioritise his family soon after she was born. 

Bhumi Pednekkar recalls her father's early political career 

Opening up about his early years in public service, Bhumi said, “Dad was a very active politician. I did not see him in that phase of his life because he quit politics right about the time that I came into this world. For personal reasons, he had his own, and so I did not see him in that mould.” She added that his achievements were remarkable for someone so young. “He was also very young when he became a minister; I think he was all of 27 or 28. He was actually one of the youngest ministers in Maharashtra, but I unfortunately did not see him in service.”
