Mumbai (Maharashtra): Bollywood actor Bhumi Pednekar completed five years in the industry. She shared an incident that gave her the biggest ‘Jhatka’.
The 31-year-old actor shared that she had to take a loan of Rs 13 lakh to get herself enrolled in a film school, where she failed.
“I failed film school not because I was not a good actor but because I was not disciplined enough and that was the biggest ‘jhatka’. I was like I have screwed up and I had this 13 lakh loan on my head and it’s a huge amount. I started looking for a job for survival and to protect my dream to act,” she said.
“It has been 5 years and it still feels like a dream. I am not an accidental actor and I say this time and again. This is something that I really wanted to do and I have worked really hard to be here. As I am not from a traditional film family or I really did not have any contacts or in, I was very confused at first about how to go about it,” said Pednekar.
The actor has also worked with as a casting assistant. She added, “When I was doing casting, my intent was not to gain information about if I want to be an actor. I was just observing as a film making student. I want to be a part of this world and whatever door opens wherever I go in. In fact, that is how my life has been – it is a journey of survival. I have only tried to survive through the years till Dum Laga Ke Haisha. I was lucky that I kept getting these opportunities, things kept happening one after the other and primarily from YRF.”
