Bhumi Pednekar: I do have Hollywood aspirations

Actor Bhumi Pednekar recently said in an interview that she has aspirations to work in Hollywood. She was last seen in the film Bhakshak where she essayed the role of a journalist. The film was directed by Pulkit and released on Netflix on February 9.  

In the interview, Bhumi was asked if she wanted to work in Hollywood. She said, “I do have Hollywood aspirations. I feel it is the best time for artists to be ambitious because the world is now a melting pot of cultures, of diversity and authenticity.”

She added, “Take, for instance, Ambika Mod from Netflix's One Day. It's so refreshing to see an Indian-origin girl play a lead role in such a successful series that has garnered love from its audience globally.”

Bhumi said that she is excited to explore more opportunities. “The fact that my exploration to find something meaningful for me in the West begins when I am on a high post-Bhakshak is also a plus for me. If I ever do an international project, I will choose one that gives me immense joy and creative satisfaction,” she said.
