Bhumi Pednekar on embracing her assets 

In an interview with celebrity Chef Pooja Dhingra, Bhumi opened up on self-love. She said, “I only became confident after my 10th. When I was in school people would call me big b**bs Bhumi and I hated it. But now I really embrace my assets. I’m very proud of them. Whatever you’re born with, you should just love yourself. It comes with a lot of hating yourself.”

When asked how she implements self-love, the actress added, “I’ve just reached this point recently. It has taken a very long time. I don’t think I’m still the most comfortable in my skin. It’s easier said than done. There are days when I’m extremely underconfident. I don’t want to blame my profession but there’s so much noise around us all the time. Being a girl is anyway so tough and being in a profession where your first requisite is to look a certain way.”
