Actor Bhumi Pednekar recently spoke about her weight loss journey and how it has led her to prioritize her health over film roles. The actor, who has been in the spotlight for her weight fluctuations, attributed her recent weight loss to a drive to stay fit.
Speaking at the International Film Festival Delhi (IFFD) 2026, Bhumi said that she has learned to prioritize her health and body over film roles, especially as she has aged. She added that as a woman, her body's ability to take weight gain and loss reduces with age, making it essential to focus on her health.
Bhumi began her film journey as a casting assistant in Yash Raj Films before making her acting debut with Dum Laga Ke Haisha in 2015. She has since appeared in several films, including Mere Husband Ki Biwi and The Royals, and has prioritized her health in recent years.
The IFFD is a week-long festival taking place at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi, and Bhumi praised the event for its high level of organization and attendance. She also spoke about her recent work, including her role as a Mumbai cop with a traumatic past in the Amazon Prime Video crime thriller Dalda.
