Bhumi Pednekar is one of the popular Bollywood actresses. She made her debut in movie business with Dum Laga Ke Haisha. As per reports in Indian Express, Bhumi chose to put on weight for her role Sandhya and shed those kilos later.

The actor has said that she put on 30 kgs for the film and lost 35kgs in the span of four months after the film ended. “I’m in love with the film and have watched it innumerable times! There wasn’t a moment’s doubt about the role, I was being paid to do two things I love, eat and act!” Bhumi had said at that time.

On her weight loss and a healthy lifestyle, the actor told Vogue, “I’ve lost over 35kg, after gaining 30kg for a film. Since then, it’s been a constant process of improvement—but I didn’t do it by starving myself. I work really hard; it’s become an active part of my routine. I like to mix it up—pilates, running, strength and weight training,” she said.

“My weight never came into my way of happiness. I talk about it openly because people should know that it’s a wrong approach to life,” the actor has said.
