25-year-old Bhumi Pedneker is very comfortable with her weight

Dum laga ke haisha actress Bhumi Pednekar says she has been an over-weight girl all her life and she is very comfortable in it.

Bhumi Pednekar who is the latest Yash Raj find said putting on oodles of weight for her debut film 'Dum Laga Ke Haisha' was not a problem as the actress says being a plump girl almost all her life she has always been comfortable in her skin.

The 25-year-old actress, who has earned widespread praise for her character Sandhya in the film, said being a hard-core foodie she loved preparing for the part that only required gorging on delicacies. Also, read about her amazing weight transformation.

'I have been an over-weight girl all my life and I have been very comfortable with it. I wore what I wanted, did what I wanted. It was never a hindrance for me. So, when they told me I had to gain more weight, I was actually really happy because I am a foodie.' 'No actress gets the chance to eat butter chicken, dal makhni on sets everyday. Eating was part of the preparation. It was the best months of my life,' Bhumi told PTI.

However, Bhumi seems to have undergone a lot of transformation post the movie. She lost a lot of weight and she now looks slimmer and much more like a quintessential Yash Raj heroine would.

'Dum Laga Ke Haisha', directed by Sharat Katariya, has received rave reviews for its honest story and endearing performances by both Bhumi and Ayushmann Khurrana.
