Bollywood actress Bhumi Pednekar is making headlines with her new show “The Royals.” The Netflix series has received mixed reviews from viewers, and social media is abuzz with criticism. The show features Bhumi alongside Ishaan Khatter, and many have commented on the lack of chemistry between the two leads. One user joked that Bhumi’s lips were doing more acting than she was. Another user humorously said her lips had more screen presence than Bhumi.
Bhumi’s Response to Trolls
A 2017 interview with Bhumi has resurfaced on Reddit, where she discussed the criticism she faced about her appearance. Bhumi recalled someone commenting on her large lips, to which she responded, “What’s the problem with that? People spend lakhs to get that look.” She emphasized the importance of being confident and not letting others’ opinions affect you. Rajkummar Rao and Ayushmann Khurrana, who were part of the same interview, shared similar experiences of facing criticism about their looks early in their careers.
The Netflix series “The Royals” was released on May 9 and features a star-studded cast, including Zeenat Aman, Nora Fatehi, Chunky Pandey, Sakshi Tanwar, Dino Morea, and Milind Soman.
