MUMBAI: Bhumi Pednekar has carved a niche for herself in the Bollywood industry. With her talent and hard work, she has made a place in the heart of the audience. She is undoubtedly a talented actress in the tinsel town. In her next, Badhaai Do, the actress will be seen essaying the role of a lesbian woman. In an interview, she explained why she deserves to play that part.
In Badhaai Do, which also stars Rajkummar Rao in a pivotal role, Bhumi and actress Chum Darang play lovers.
On being asked if she had second thoughts about taking up this role, Bhumi told India Today that she didn't doubt her choice after she agreed to be a part of this film. The actress was quoted as saying, "Yes, that's not my sexual preference, but is my sexual preference all that I am made up of? This is exactly what the film speaks about. I am an actor and I am playing a character. Why should only a queer woman who has a certain sexual preference like my character be considered for the role?"
Further, the actress added, "I am somebody who has worked hard and there is a certain amount of talent that comes with me, then why do I not deserve this part any more or less than somebody else (whose sexual preference is different than mine)? I mean, how is that fair?"
