Whether there are certain roles or films that she would not do because she wants to set an example for the women. In response, Bhumi said, “I have made mistakes. I think one of the biggest ones was where I kind of diluted the fact that I had made a career out of the fact that I had agency. I have always sought that, but at times, you are just tempted because you want that ₹200 crore hit. What I would not compromise on is that I would not do a character where there is disrespect to my gender. I wouldn't do that.” ‘I have worked very, very hard’She went on to add, “I still probably have lesser to do and I just don't enjoy that. Because I think that is not what the audience expects out of me. I have worked very, very hard into creating a space which is being led by performance, and I think I diluted that which was a very big mistake that I would never ever do.”Bhumi did not any name the project and shared that she wants to stay away from unnecessary noise.Bhumi made her acting debut with Dum Laga Ke Haisha, opposite Ayushmann Khurrana.
