She added, ‘I had not seen her come for the audition with that personality. I remember I was rehearsing lines with her and usually I would have been pretty good because I had at least 100 auditions of the same scenes by then, but this was the first time I forgot my lines. At that moment I realized that this man in front of me was very talented. I don’t think I’ll ever forget that experience. “
Bhumi Pednekar also said that the quality of the Padmaavat actor has been absorbed in her. “That energy and confidence was something I learned from him. I carried that on in my life as an actor. It’s very important to be very positive in life. He’s also very kind as a person. I literally knew him when I was an assistant. And Even to this day when I meet him, the love is exactly the same, which I find incredible,” she said.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Bhumi will next be seen in the remake of Meri Patni directed by Mudassar Aziz. It is scheduled to hit theaters in 2025.
