Speaking about bagging the honour, Bhumi said, “I am so grateful for having been awarded as the Disruptor of the Year by IFFM. This recognition means a lot to me. Through my work, through the films and roles I take up, the causes that I support and stand up for and for everything I do to champion climate conservation, this is exactly what I strive for - I strive to live a life of impact.”

The Disruptor Award will be presented to Bhumi by a dignitary from the Victorian government.
