In the year so far, Bhumi Pednekar has already been part of two powerful movies. While Bheed offered an unflinching gaze at the helpless state of migrant labourers during the pandemic-induced lockdown, Afwaah took on the prevalent menace of misinformation. In the coming months, she will be seen in Ajay Bahl's The Ladykiller, Gauri Khan-backed Bhakshak and Mudassar Aziz's Mere Husband Ki Biwi. Each film is an extension of her belief system, says Pednekar. "I [hope] to leave a mark through my movies because films are a part of our cultural legacy. What we create now will be remembered and dissected in the years to come, just as films from before stand the test of time or are questioned now for what they tried to say then. Art is almost immortal," says the actor.

Pednekar's passion for acting runs deep. What runs deeper is her desire to effect change through her movies. She says, "I have always wanted to be a female actor who had a cultural impact through my films and roles. So, I have and will continue to pick projects that inspire me to deliver my best."
