Bhumi Pednekar
Bhumi Pednekar played a confident plus-sized woman in Dum Laga Ke Haisha (2015), thus shining a light on society’s unrealistic standards of beauty in her very first film. As she is roped in to be the brand ambassador for beauty and wellness platform Boddess, the actor says the idea is to instill the values of self-love and body positivity among the masses. “We, women, need to create communities that endorse self-love and inclusivity. We shouldn’t be expected to conform to social standards of beauty. My first film gave me confidence, and Sandhya [her character] made me fall in love with myself. Beauty is about finding your own happiness, which includes [attaining] mental and physical well-being.”
