Bhumi Pednekar-starrer Dum Laga Ke Haisha clocked 8 years today. To mark the eighth anniversary of her film, the actress penned a heartfelt note on being the ‘body-positive’ heroine. She even dropped a clip that gives a glimpse of a deleted scene along with multiple short BTS videos that are unmissable. Along with the video, she expressed her pride at being portrayed as a 'body-positive' Yash Raj Films heroine because her performance managed to defy the industry stereotype about what an actress should look like onscreen.
Bhumi wrote, “Firsts are always special. Can't believe it has been 8 years already”. On her path-breaking role in the film, Bhumi added, “I was so fortunate to have started my career as an actor with a film that broke the stereotype of how heroines were presented in Indian cinema”. She further wrote, “I was proud to be the new YRF heroine – real, authentic, proud, righteous, self-reliant, body-positive and a girl who was so so beautiful. Body shaming is a big social evil. Let’s celebrate every human being’s right to individuality”.
Social media fans praised the actress and thanked her for her part in the movie. One of the users wrote, “It was a groundbreaking movie. You were incredible”. Another user wrote, “Yes! Loved this movie so much, and fell in love with your natural and charming performance”. One more user wrote, “Definitely one of my favourite movies with fav actors”.
