Beyond her film projects, Bhumi Pednekar recently showcased her modeling prowess at Lakme Fashion Week, serving as a muse for designer Richa Khemka. During the event, she opened up about the influence of cinema on societal beauty standards, noting that films play a significant role in shaping perceptions of beauty and fashion.

“Films play a large part in setting any kind of benchmark, and it’s just not limited to fashion and beauty,” she remarked. “If used rightly, cinema can truly have a very positive impact.”

Fashion, for Bhumi, represents more than just aesthetics; it is a powerful form of self-expression. “I find fashion liberating and empowering,” she stated, reflecting on her personal journey in the industry. “I’ve truly found a space that I really, really enjoy.”
