Bhumi Pednekar Speaks Up On Cosmetic Surgery Speculation: ‘To Each Their Own'
Bhumi Pednekar addresses cosmetic surgery rumours, advocating choice and shutting down trolling with wit and grace. In an era dominated by filters, fillers, and fierce online commentary, discussions around cosmetic enhancements in showbiz are louder than ever. With social media scrutiny at an all-time high, celebrities often find themselves navigating speculation, praise, and criticism, sometimes all at once. One of the latest stars to address this ongoing chatter is Bhumi Pednekar. At a recent media interaction in New Delhi, the actress responded to questions about whether she had undergone any cosmetic procedures. Her answer was measured, thoughtful, and rooted in body autonomy. 'I genuinely believe everyone has the right to choose for themselves. Who am I to judge what someone wants to do with their own body?" Bhumi told News18 Showsha. 'And honestly, I think there's too much noise around this topic. This is just who I am, it's how I've always been." This isn't the first time the Badhaai Do actor has addressed commentary on her appearance. In a previous interview with film critic Anupama Chopra, Bhumi opened up about being trolled for having 'big lips" a feature she proudly owns. 'Someone once told me my lips are too big," she recalled with a laugh. 'I was like, since when is that a problem? Aren't people literally paying lakhs to get lips like these? People can say the most bizarre things. The key is to know who you are and not let it affect you." The trolling hasn't been limited to her alone. Bhumi and her sister, Samiksha Pednekar, once faced criticism after sharing a fun video together. The sisters' resemblance led to netizens insinuating that they had both gone under the knife. Samiksha, in a witty comeback, replied, 'Or same parents? Maybe?" Just days before the recent media exchange, Bhumi turned heads as the showstopper at India Couture Week 2025 on July 27. She walked the runway for designer Ritu Kumar in a shimmering golden lehenga that perfectly blended vintage elegance with contemporary flair. On the professional front, Bhumi was last seen in the period drama The Royals, where she starred opposite Ishaan Khatter. Whether it's on the ramp or in front of the mic, Bhumi Pednekar continues to hold her ground with grace, confidence, and a voice that cuts through the noise. view comments First Published: July 30, 2025, 09:27 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Anusha Dandekar Opens Up On Love Life, Reveals She Is Dating: 'Someone Very Special...'
Anusha Dandekar reveals she's dating herself, focusing on self-awareness Anusha returns in Hunter Season 2 with Suniel Shetty. Anusha Dandekar says she's taken – but there's a twist. In a world where everyone's watching who's dating whom, Anusha just threw a curveball. It's not a mystery man who's won her heart but someone else. When asked about her dating life, Anusha told News18 Showsha, 'I am dating someone very special right now. Super special. And that person… is me." She doubled down on the sentiment, explaining her journey towards deeper self-awareness and love. She said, 'No really, I'm learning to date me. I'm genuinely interested in this person. I want to sit down with them, take them to dinner, ask them questions, get to know them. I think it's important." And while most people deal with subtle pressure to 'settle down," Anusha's parents are clearly chill about her taking her time. 'Not at all. My parents are way too cool. They're like, 'If it makes you happy, do it.' So, yay! Thanks, Mom and Dad!" she said. On the topic of red flags, both hers and others', Anusha didn't hold back and said, 'Honestly… I might be a red flag!" (laughs) 'I'm figuring that out while I'm dating myself. But yeah, red flags — we all know what they are. I don't need to spell it out. The important part is not denying them. Don't convince yourself that something is okay when deep down you know it isn't." On a parting note, Anusha said, 'If you're ignoring a red flag, then maybe your red flag is allowing that. You've got to sit with yourself and ask why am I accepting this? It all comes down to being honest with yourself first." Anusha Dandekar's most talked-about relationship was with actor Karan Kundrra, who is now dating actress Tejasswi Prakash. The two dated for several years and were a regular presence at public events, making headlines for their chemistry. Anusha has also been linked to actor Jason Shah in the past. Anusha Dandekar makes a comeback to screens with Hunter Season 2, where she steps into the shoes of a full-blown action hero. The series, led by Suniel Shetty, takes the stakes higher this time around. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Is Dibyendu Bhattacharya A Part Of Mirzapur The Film? Chakda Xpress Actor Reveals
Last Updated: Dibyendu Bhattacharya, known for Mirzapur 2 and Jamtara, told News18 Showsha whether he's a part of Mirzapur The Film. Actor Dibyendu Bhattacharya, widely loved for his impactful roles in series like Mirzapur 2 and Jamtara, opened up in a candid conversation about his career trajectory. In an exclusive conversation with News18 Showsha, the actor revealed whether he is a part of Mirzapur The Film, how actors seek validation through their work, and his deep desire to explore out-and-out commercial comedy on screen. When asked if he'd be a part of the upcoming Mirzapur movie adaptation starring Pankaj Tripathi, Divyenndu, and Ali Fazal, Dibyendu Bhattacharya confirmed his character is no longer part of the storyline. But would he consider a role in Mirzapur The Film if offered? He replied, ' [Spoiler alert] Yes, I was part of Mirzapur, but my character died in the show. I'd love to be a part of the movie, but nobody has spoken to me about it yet. So I guess that means I'm not in it," he said with a smile, making it clear the doors are open should the opportunity arise. Dibyendu reflects on not featuring in film/series posters Dibyendu has been a part of the film industry for over two decades now. Along the way, he has played pivotal characters, finally establishing his name in the film industry with projects such as Anushka Sharma's Chakda Xpress and YRF's Alpha starring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari. Despite playing significant roles, he doesn't always make it to the poster. We asked Dibyendu if it ever bothers him. 'We actors — what do we do? We play with feelings and emotions, so we're emotional too. We're human. So yes, of course, we feel bad sometimes. A little importance would've been nice, right? It's not like I came from nowhere. If they include me in the teaser or trailer, it feels good," he reflected. 'For actors, money and fame are byproducts. What truly keeps us going is a little validation — a compliment from someone, a message in the morning that says, 'You made my day with your performance.' That's what makes our day. We're vulnerable like that," he added. Dibyendu is manifesting a full-blown comedy role When the conversation turned to genres, Dibyendu Bhattacharya expressed his enthusiasm about doing comedy, especially something in the tone of cult classics like Hera Pheri. 'Absolutely", he exclaimed, adding, 'Comedy is in my roots." 'I've won Best Actor awards before I even joined the National School of Drama – and it was for a comedy play! I used to walk on stage and for 90 minutes I had only one job: to make people laugh," he said. The Poachers actor then fondly recalled an incident from his NSD repertory days, when his comedic flair on stage once disrupted an entire scene because the audience couldn't stop watching him despite the main characters delivering their dialogue. 'There was a play where my antics kept stealing the spotlight—even when others had dialogues. The director scolded me at first, saying, 'You can't do this. People get distracted. They miss the actual lines.' But eventually, he came around. He whispered to me, 'I know you'll do what you want anyway. Just don't ruin it,'" Divyenndu laughed. He also revealed that he did a completely comedic role in an Amazon show titled Main Monica – a project that, despite having little to no promotion, gave him a chance to flex his comedy chops. While fans love his intense, layered characters, Divyenndu is manifesting more opportunities in full-blown commercial comedy. 'Those who have seen me on stage know I've done hard-core comedy in theatre. Cinema just hasn't given me that chance yet," he said, leaving the door wide open for filmmakers looking for a sharp comic actor in the industry. view comments First Published: July 28, 2025, 14:38 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
