Three-film-old actress Bhumi Pednekar,
who played an overweight married woman
in her debut movie "Dum Laga Ke Haisha",
says she has been able to break the
stereotype in Bollywood about heroines.
At an event today, Bhumi said: "I have been
able to break the stereotype in Bollywood
about heroines. I got the chance to be a
Yash Raj Films heroine, but it was nothing
like the glamorous heroines on the big
screen."
She continued to break the stereotype in
Bollywood by starring in this year's hit film
"Toilet: Ek Prem Katha" that throws light on
the problem of open defecation.
Talking about the cleanliness campaign, she
said: "I think Safaigiri and our relationship
has already begun, and in some years, our
love story will be complete. It is necessary to
bring change at an individual level. I am glad
the kind of steps that the government has
taken for cleanliness are helping us move
towards a better India."
Singer Tulsi Kumar, who was also present at
the event, said it is the people's
responsibility to keep India clean, "just like
we ensure our cars are spotless. If our
roads are dirty, all citizens are affected. For
instance, it becomes a breeding ground for
mosquitoes".

How? She did a movie as a bigger woman, but then quickly lost weight too. 😆 How is she any different than Parineeti types who act like oh I'm so different then they go ahead and become exactly like every other cliched heroine out there.
