Bollywood actress Bhumi Pednekar, known for her bold choices on-screen and her outspoken nature off-screen, recently got candid about her personal approach to health, wellness, and beauty. In a refreshing and honest revelation, the Bhakshak star spoke about one food item that remains a non-negotiable part of her diet and shared her perspective on the increasing openness around aesthetic procedures like fillers and Botox.
During a recent interview, Bhumi disclosed that no matter where she is or how hectic her schedule gets, one item always finds a place in her diet — ghee (clarified butter). “Ghee is my forever staple. It’s been a constant in my life since childhood. I firmly believe in its nutritional value and the way it supports gut health, digestion, and skin,” she shared. “It’s a tradition passed down through generations, and I feel fortunate to have grown up in a household that respects Indian food wisdom.”
Bhumi, who has undergone significant transformations for many of her roles, emphasized that eating clean doesn’t necessarily mean depriving oneself. “People often associate healthy eating with being tasteless or restrictive. But I’ve learned to strike a balance — I eat local, seasonal, and wholesome. Ghee, in moderation, is not just delicious but extremely beneficial.”
While talking about physical health, Bhumi also took the opportunity to address the evolving standards of beauty and how conversations around cosmetic procedures are becoming less taboo. Without shying away from the topic, she said, “We live in a time where people are more accepting of the choices others make to feel good about themselves. There’s no longer a need to hide the fact that someone opts for fillers or Botox. It’s a personal decision, and if something makes you feel confident, who are we to judge?”
The actress made it clear that beauty is deeply personal, and people have the right to make decisions for themselves without facing scrutiny or shame. “Just as we choose to wear makeup or style our hair, cosmetic treatments are simply another extension of self-expression,” she said. “And as long as it’s done with awareness and not as a result of societal pressure, I don’t see why it should be controversial.”
Bhumi, who has always used her platform to break stereotypes — from playing a plus-sized bride in Dum Laga Ke Haisha to portraying fierce, empowered women in socially relevant stories — continues to advocate for authenticity, body positivity, and mindful living.
Her words come at a time when the conversation around self-image, especially in the entertainment industry, is under constant scrutiny. With younger audiences looking up to celebrities, Bhumi’s balanced and body-positive approach strikes a much-needed chord. She not only promotes self-care through natural means but also embraces modern wellness choices without guilt or secrecy.
By openly discussing both her dietary habits and views on cosmetic procedures, Bhumi Pednekar has once again proven that she’s not just a performer but a voice of reason in an industry that often thrives on perfection. Her take? Be honest with yourself, choose what works for you, and never shy away from loving who you are — inside and out.
