Priyanka Chopra Commends Bhumi Pednekar’s Impressive Journey and Outstanding Performance in ‘Dum Laga Ke Haisha’

Renowned global figure Priyanka Chopra is presently in Mumbai, where she conducted a masterclass on the subject of ‘The Mind of an Actor.’ The event was hosted by actor Bhumi Pednekar, who greatly admires Priyanka Chopra’s artistic journey. During the session, Priyanka expressed her admiration for Bhumi’s cinematic path and specifically praised her remarkable performance in her debut film, “Dum Laga Ke Haisha.”

In addressing Bhumi, Priyanka commented, “You had a clear aspiration to become an actor. You knew from a very young age that Mumbai was your city, and you were determined to make a name for yourself here. My journey is different. I was thrust into this profession as an actor, and I’ve always been a hustler. Give me any task, and I’ll tackle it with all my might. It’s all or nothing for me.”

She further added, “I’ve been this way since I was a child. So, I’ve built my career through relentless effort. But you, Bhumi, are equally inspiring to me because your journey has been remarkable in terms of the roles you’ve chosen, the characters you’ve portrayed, and the dignity with which you’ve embraced your roles.”

Priyanka Chopra then inquired about Bhumi’s transformation for “Dum Laga Ke Haisha,” asking, “How much weight did you have to gain for the film?” Bhumi responded, “I gained over 30 kilograms, and after that, I stopped counting. Once I reached 95 kilograms, I said, ‘That’s it!'” Priyanka Chopra praised Bhumi, stating, “You were absolutely incredible, not just because of the physical transformation, but primarily because of your exceptional acting skills. You were truly outstanding!”
