Riding high on the success of Toilet: Ek Prem Katha and Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, actress Bhumi Pednekar is going to add another feather to her cap by turning host for the upcoming season of Star Screen Awards. Yes, the organizers have finalized her name as the host of the star-studded event slated to happen in January next year.
A source reveals to a leading entertainment website, “Bhumi is one of the most exciting young talents in Bollywood. Her choice of films reflects the brand thought of Star which is Nayi Soch. She has done standout roles which have become commercial blockbusters and she has also garnered incredible critical acclaim with her choices. She was the perfect fit for the host of Star Screen Awards.”
“Bhumi Pednekar is on a dream run and that’s because of her talent, her dedication and professionalism. She is hugely sought after this award season. While at Star Screen Awards she is hosting the entire event, in Zee Cine Awards, she will be performing! For a young talent who is just three films old, this is a big achievement,” the source added.
Bhumi Pednekar will next be seen in Abhishek Chaubey's next directorial Son-Chiraiya, which also stars Sushant Singh Rajput in the lead role.
