B-Town actor Bhumi Pednekar stepped into Bollywood with her debut film ‘Dum Laga Ke Haisha’ in 2015. The romantic comedy that revolves around an overweight bride made her win the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut.
After filming, she began losing the extra kilos and was seen in a new avatar when she starred in ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’ alongside Akshay Kumar.
I am sure, like me, many of you would also be impressed by her dramatic transformation. However, when someone asked her to share a fitness tip she said self-acceptance and self-love played key roles in her weight loss journey, reported Outlook.
She shared, “Self-acceptance and self-love is the key to any weight loss journey. The first thing I would tell anyone who asks me about my weight loss is that you should first come to terms with your body, especially at a time like now where you have so many filters that can help in changing the way you look. One shouldn’t stop using them but one should accept the way you look.”
She further added that staying disciplined is important. “In my case, I never used to miss the gym no matter what and not eat anything after 7.30 p.m.”
When quizzed what’s her favourite character till date, the actor said, “I can’t decide on my favourite character. From the eight films I have done so far, if I were to choose the most fun characters I have played last year, they would be ‘Saand Ki Aankh’ and ‘Pati Patni Aur Who’.”
The ‘Bala’ actor also revealed that she loves playing Poker and Teen Patti. “One thing people don’t know about me is that I love playing Poker and Teen Patti with family during Diwali. I really enjoy it.”
Well, self-love is indeed one of the important things that all of us should learn before surrendering to the societal pressures that demand that we look a certain way. Well said, Bhumi.
