At India Today Conclave, Bhumi Pednekar Vows to Work 'Till My Last Breath'

She says resilience forged by online abuse now guides her purpose-driven choices.

Overview

  • Reflecting on a decade in films, she traced her path from a Yash Raj teenager to a purpose-seeking actor and said Dum Laga Ke Haisha still defines her outlook.
  • Addressing trolling, she said abuse directed at women is the hardest to process and that she looks inward for courage because she has no other option.
  • She noted that lows, including critically praised films that struggled at the box office, taught her more than highs and reinforced her resilience.
  • She highlighted a body of work focused on social themes such as dignity, gender oppression, LGBTQIA+ rights and ethical journalism, and said The Royals celebrates women in power.
  • On current projects, coverage notes praise for Netflix’s The Royals with a second season announced without a release date, and reports indicate she will star in Prime Video’s Daldal as cop Rita Ferreira.
