To Bhumi Pednekar, her character Gauri Waghmare from Govinda Naam Mera is “an unstoppable force of nature”. More importantly, she lives life on her terms. If her choreographer-husband — essayed by Vicky Kaushal — finds love outside marriage, Gauri turns the tables on him by flaunting her new boyfriend. “Gauri can stand up to a man, and be vocal about what she wants in life. I thank Shashank [Khaitan, director] for giving me the freedom to run riot with the character,” begins Pednekar, who had a blast essaying the part.

Govinda Naam Mera also stars Vicky Kaushal and Kiara Advani
