Bhumi Pednekar took inspiration from Karisma Kapoor for Pati Patni Aur Woh

Karisma Kapoor ruled the big screen in the 90s and early 2000. She has starred in many romantic comedies and has made the audience laugh out loud. Bhumi Pednekar, who will next be seen in Pati Patni Aur Woh, recently revealed that she took inspiration from Karisma Kapoor to portray her character in the film.

Bhumi stated, “I have been a huge fan of Karisma Kapoor since I was a child. I even bought a dress that was similar to the one she wore in Raja Hindustani. For me, she is the epitome of a commercial film heroine and I have seen and loved her films.”


“A fabulous actor, she was outstanding in comedies and Biwi No 1 was a huge inspiration for me while I was preparing myself for Pati Patni Aur Woh. Karisma as a simple bahu to becoming the firecracker in the film had bowled me over and she was my most definitive reference point to nail my role in this film,” she added.

Bhumi says that her role is similar to what Karisma played in Biwi No 1. The actress said “It’s a dream come true for me to play a role that is so strikingly similar to hers. I thoroughly enjoyed playing the commercial film heroine for the first time in my career and I realized my childhood wish in the process.”

Well, Bhumi is clearly one of the most successful actresses of this generation. She has been a part of six films and apart from Sonchiriya, all her films have been successful at the box office.

Directed by Mudassar Aziz, Pati Patni Aur Woh also stars Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday. The film is slated to hit the screens on 6th December 2019.

Highlights

  • Manavatty now available in over 250 off-licence shops across the UK and expanding to 20 countries.
  • Brand won bronze at London Spirits Competition 2025 and Spirit Bronze 2025 at International Wine and Spirit Competition.
  • Scottish National Party auctioned signed Manavatty bottles at Edinburgh for party fundraising.
When Scotland's first minister John Swinney signed a bottle of Manavatty at the Scottish National Party convention in Edinburgh on (November 15), it marked an extraordinary milestone for an entrepreneur who had resurrected a spirit banned in his native Indian state.
With Scotland's SNP elections approaching in 2026, the party selected Manavatty for their traditional fundraising auction, a recognition that few immigrant-founded brands achieve.

"It's a tradition for the SNP political party to keep a product at an auction and take the funds for party welfare," explains John Xavier, the man behind this unlikely success story.
