Ayushmann Khurrana and Bhumi Pednekar in a still from Dum Lagaa Ke Haisha
Most of us may have seen Ayushmann Khurrana and Bhumi Pednekar's first movie together - Dum Laga Ke Haisha - directed by Sharat Katariya. It was also Bhumi's debut Bollywood movie, and the actress really shone in her role as an overweight teacher who is married to a leaner, lesser-educated Ayushmann.
On the latest episode of JioSaavn's #NoFilterNeha Season 5, Bhumi Pednekar spoke about her debut and how she didn't get the role after just one audition. She shared, "I always wanted to be an actor, but you know when you're suddenly in your teens, you're like, 'Okay, maybe I can do this', because by the end of it, I wanna be in the films, maybe I can try being an AD or do something because there was no way out. I was just looking for different kinds of jobs just to be in the system. I read Dum Laga Ke Haisha and since that day I was praying everyday, but it was tough, they didn't give me the film after that one audition."
