Priyanka Chopra Lauds Bhumi Pednekar In Dum Laga Ke Haisha At MAMI Film Festival: 'You're An Inspiration To Me'

Actor Priyanka Chopra on Sunday conducted a masterclass on 'The Mind of an Actor' at the ongoing MAMI Mumbai Film Festival. The session was hosted by Bhumi Pednekar, where the leading actresses were seen talking highly of each other.

Priyanka said, "You (Bhumi) are such an inspiration to me too because your journey has been so wonderful in terms of the choices you've made, the characters that you've been and just the dignity with which you support your characters."

Priyanka went on to ask Bhumi, "How much weight did you have to put on for Dum Laga Ke?" To this Bhumi replied, "I put on more than 30 kgs, after that I stopped counting. Once I touched 95 kilos I was that's it!" Priyanka hailed Bhumi saying, "You were so amazing, I mean the weight and all was great but just your acting man. You were amazing!"

Priyanka also serves as chairperson of the Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival, which is taking place October 27-November 5 at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre and other venues across Mumbai.
