Bhumi Pednekar on how her mother gifts her a gold coin when she loves her performance: 'After watching Bhakshak...'

Bhumi Pednekar was recently seen in Netflix and Gauri Khan’s ‘Bhakshak‘, a film that throws light on the current state of journalism. Talking about the response the film has received, the actress shared a note and video and said, “We have to make a film free of all corruption and with all the right intentions. This one is beyond a hit or flop. It’s about how deep it affects you when you watch it.” And now, she has penned a long note on how her mother reacted after watching the film. Sharing a picture with her, Bhumi wrote- “Mummy gives me a gold coin every time she feels I have grown as an actor. After watching Bhakshak, i remember how overwhelmed mom got and I somewhere knew I have another one coming my way. I remember the ride back home. No one spoke. Once we were home, samiksha started talking to me and there were just tears rolling down her eyes.” She added, “She said - This film is beyond what it does for you, it’s about what it does for those children. We can’t fail them again.” Bhumi is thrilled that  _Bhakshak_ puts a woman as the agent of change, as the shero, something that few Indian film-makers have done. A woman standing up for fellow women and protecting them by risking her life is what makes Bhakshak a successful entertainer.

Bhumi  says, “As an actor, nothing is more joyous than unanimous praise from the film industry, media and audience about one’s performance. I’m very emotional and passionate about my work, every film of mine has a special place in my heart. For me, Bhakshak is at the top of that heap because of the powerful story that it is saying and also because I play a woman who is the agent of change.”
