Bhumi made her acting debut with Dum Laga Ke Haisha in 2015. Last year, she completed a decade in the industry. Sharing advice for aspiring women actors, she added, “Even now in India, we think the world of films is very dangerous, but it’s not. Many women have become very capable in this world. If you have a dream, there will be many people who tell you ‘no,’ but you have to listen to that ‘yes.’ Always stay safe and know which people are right and which are wrong. Experience will teach you that.”

Bhumi shared her learnings from being in the trade. Talking about how she deals with negative feedback, particularly when she is undermined, the actor said, “Actions speak louder than words. For women, that is our most powerful tool. We just wait for that moment when you get that opportunity. I feel that every time I am undermined, there’s this fire, as if someone has set off a nuclear blast inside me. It motivates me a lot more. I have always used my work as a way of coming back.”
