Bhumi won the Face of Asia award at the event which was conferred to her by a Korean film and fashion magazine. On winning the award, the actress said that she is humbled that my work has resonated with audiences and critics in Busan. "I am humbled that my work has resonated with audiences and critics in Busan. It’s my first international win, so I am proud. I have aspired to act in films that have something important to say, and have worked sincerely to deliver convincing performances. I hope to be part of cinema that will be remembered fondly in future."

We, at Eastern Eye, congratulate the actress on her win.
