The debate about actors opting for botox and fillers has been going on for a long time now. When Bhumi Pednekar starred in the web series The Royals earlier this year, she was also trolled and questioned for her alleged surgeries. Therefore, when News18 Showsha met Bhumi at a recent event in New Delhi, we asked what she thinks about it. Bhumi argued that too much attention is being given to this subject and added that if one wants to opt for fillers, why not? 'I feel, to each their own. We live in a time where people should make their own choices. I am nobody to have any kind of judgment on what people want to do. I also feel that this is being discussed way too much," she told us. The 36-year-old actress explained her definition of fitness and added, 'It is my way of being." Bhumi was in New Delhi for a Skechers' event. Talking about the same, the actress shared, 'People in Delhi have come together and run one thousand kilometres collectively. Sketchers, in return, is going to give 100 pairs of shoes to The Kutumb Foundation. It is so lovely." However, when asked what food items Bhumi keeps in her diet to be fit and healthy, the actress stated, 'People get very scared of but I have it in my diet – fat. I have a lot of ghee in my diet. The only difference is, I do not cook in ghee; I consume it raw. Put it on your rotis or idlis, it is very beneficial for your health." Meanwhile, on the work front, Bhumi Pednekar was last seen in Netflix's The Royals, a romantic dramedy about the unlikely love story between Aviraaj Singh (played by Ishaan Khatter), a modern-day prince, and Sophia Kanmani Shekhar (Bhumi), a fierce startup founder. The ensemble cast included Zeenat Aman, Dino Morea, Nora Fatehi, Sakshi Tanwar, and others. The series continues to stream on Netflix and has received praise for its fresh take on romance. Next, Bhumi will be seen in Daldal, a gritty web series for Prime Video in which she plays a police officer. The show has wrapped filming, and fans are eagerly awaiting an official release date.

Netflix's 'Aap Jaisa Koi' actress Fatima Sana Shaikh teams up with 'Saiyaara' star Aneet Padda for their next project: "There are huge plans to make..."
In an EXCLUSIVE interview with Firstpost, when Fatima Sana Shaikh too spoke on gender pay gap and for things to change, audiences need to accept women led films read more Netflix's 'Aap Jaisa Koi' actress Fatima Sana Shaikh who was also seen in Metro In Dino, is teaming up with Saiyaara fame Aneet Padda for a legal drama titled Nyaya that will be directed by Nitya Mehra and Karan Kapadia. A source told Bollywood Hungama, 'Aneet is a big screen heroine for YRF. Nyaya was shot before she signed Saiyaara and it has no bearing on her career trajectory as a theatrical heroine going forward. A girl who is delivering probably a Rs. 400 crores hit in theatres, is a true Gen Z star at the age of just 22, will be preserved for theatricals. There are huge plans to make her the face of a generation and that can be achieved only by consolidating her theatrical equity.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD About Fatima Sana Shaikh In an EXCLUSIVE interview with Firstpost, when Fatima Sana Shaikh too spoke on gender pay gap and for things to change, audiences need to accept women led films. She said, 'Finally, there are women who are asking for what they deserve, and that is commendable because to voice it and to even receive that was like a dream. And, you know, these are the women like Deepika Padukone who are paving paths for us so that tomorrow when we are in that position, we won't obviously think twice to get our due.' On working with Anurag Basu I didn't get to interact with other characters a lot. I largely interacted with Sara Khan and Ali Fazal that you've seen in the trailer also. So, I didn't unfortunately get to share the screen with all of these other actors that I'm a huge fan of. The best thing about Anurag (dada) is that you are not bound by the script and you know what you're getting into. So, you learn a lot when you go to the set. Even if there is a climax scene, even if there is a hectic scene, you come to know about it in the morning. And you just go with the flow. Whatever comes on your way, you just figure it out. You try to be as honest as possible. And that's what we all did, and there is, you know, significant fun in that too.
