Actor Bhumi Pednekar is on a bit of a fashion revolution, experimenting with her looks and clothing styles. While her new looks have garnered her admiration, it has also promoted some trolling. However, the ‘Bheed’ actor remains unfazed and admits she only gained the “courage” to go all out with fashion recently.
Bhumi said, “In real life, this is exactly how I am - bold and carefree. Over the last two years, I met people from the (fashion) fraternity who saw this side of me.” She elaborated, “I’ve just become a lot more comfortable with myself now. I have accepted myself a lot more. All that is translating into my appearances at whatever events and red carpets that I attend. I have realised that I have always loved myself. I have been a confident girl. It is a journey for everyone. Today, I’m more upfront and I am a little more carefree about showing people who I really am.”
When asked if she is bothered by fashion policing, Pednekar said, “Not at all.” Elaborating, “For me, fashion and beauty is so therapeutic. My journey, I would like to believe, started in the lockdown when I started putting out beauty blogs and makeup videos. Earlier, I was so nervous when I put out my first video because I was thinking if this is something which I should be doing. But then it was so therapeutic to me and I got so much love for it.”
She adds, “It started casually when I decided to put out aspects of my life and I honestly do this for myself. I love fashion. And I’ve loved fashion since I was a child. Today, I like to own it to the max that I can. So this comes from a very, very authentic place of being passionate about beauty and fashion. And the fashion police doesn’t bother me.”
