She says, “I’m happy that I have contributed towards bringing people back to the cinemas with our gem of a film, Badhaai Do! I hope the year continues to bring me luck and success. I also wish that the industry sees enormous successes because it was deeply affected by the pandemic.”

About the phenomenal start that she has got in 2022, Bhumi says, “The love and appreciation that I have been getting for Badhaai Do is just insane and I couldn’t have imagined a better start to 2022. I feel validated as an actor because my content choices are working consistently.”

I hope I can entertain everyone thoroughly as that brings me a lot of joy.”
