Grateful for the audience’s appreciation, Bhumi expressed, “As an actor, there’s nothing more gratifying than receiving universal acclaim from both the industry and viewers for one’s performance.

She continued, “Such portrayals are rare in Indian cinema; few films empower women to lead change, to challenge societal norms, and advocate for their rights. I’ve always gravitated towards roles that showcase empowered women contributing to nation-building, inspiring others to stand against injustice and patriarchy, and voicing their rights and needs.”
