Mumbai: Actor Bhumi Pednekar has carved her space in Bollywood with strong roles in films such as Dum Laga Ke Haisha, Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha and Pati, Patni Aur Woh. She insists fame has not changed her.
"I am the same girl. Honestly I haven't changed much. Success hasn't managed to change me! I am still very vulnerable, ambitious, still have stars in my eyes and have huge dreams. This has been, I think, my biggest push in life, because I was very young when I decided I wanted to be an actor," Bhumi said.
She wants to chase goals that she wants to achieve as a performer.
"I want to do the work that I want to do and want to carve a separate space for myself. I don't want to be a part of the rat race and I have a clear vision about it," she said.

The actor feels she was fortunate to have got the opportunity to try out acting.
"I am so fortunate that I had the opportunities, and it all started with that one job at Yash Raj Films. When I started with them I was all of 17, I didn't know what I was doing," recalled Bhumi, referring to the fact that she started out as an assistant casting director at the production house, before getting a break in the banner's 2015 production, "Dum Laga Ke Haisha" as a lead actor.
"I was honestly thinking of going abroad back then for studies. I randomly went to that interview because I knew I had to start working otherwise my parents would send me off abroad for further education, and my life changed. There was no stopping after that!" she said.
