Bhumi Pednekar's debut film Dum Laga Ke Haisha turns 8: ‘I was proud to be the new YRF heroine’

Actress Bhumi Pednekar on Monday celebrated the eight-year anniversary of her debut movie Dum Laga Ke Haisha, which was released back in 2015.

Taking to Instagram, Bhumi dropped a video featuring the deleted scene from the movie.


Sharing the video, she wrote a long note, “Here is a deleted scene from my first love. Firsts are always special. Can't believe it has been 8 years already! I was so fortunate to have started my career as an actor with a film that broke the stereotype of how heroines were presented in Indian cinema.”

She added, “I was proud to be the new @yrf heroine - real, authentic, proud, righteous, self-reliant, body-positive, and a girl who was so, so beautiful. Body shaming is a big social evil. Let's celebrate every human being's right to individuality. #8YearsOfDumLagaKeHaisha."

Helmed by Sharat Katariya, Dum Laga Ke Haisha revolves around a school dropout named Prem, essayed by Ayushmann Khurrana, who reluctantly marries the educated but overweight Sandhya (Bhumi). The couple came closer when they take part in a race, which involves Prem carrying Sandhya on his back.
