Impressing fans as a dusky girl in the latest release 'Bala,' Bhumi Pednekar says she paid no heed to the people who told her that playing the dark-skinned character was a brave move on her part.

Elucidating further upon the statement, she said, "Everyone is me that I have been brave to play this role but I have been telling them that I see myself as an artist, someone who wants to shed herself and become a character in the film because that's what is important."
