Ever since Bhumi Pednekar appeared on the Netflix show The Royals alongside Ishan Khattar, she has faced unmatched criticism. While some comments about her acting could be considered constructive feedback, others have unfairly focused on her physical appearance and personal choices.
Many viewers felt that Bhumi’s performance lacked depth and that she didn’t fully commit to her character. This is an area she might consider improving in future projects or in a potential second season of the show. However, the criticism didn’t stop at her acting skills.
Online trolls began mocking her body, appearance, and alleged cosmetic enhancements like lip fillers and Botox. The conversation shifted from art to attack. In response, Bhumi finally addressed the criticism and stated, “It is my way of being.” She expressed that she doesn’t feel obligated to seek validation from others.
Bhumi also opened up about her diet and body choices. Unlike many in the industry, she proudly includes ghee in her daily meals, a food that’s often avoided due to its fat content. She believes in its health benefits and doesn’t feel the need to follow a starving or restrictive diet just to conform.
While most fans supported her unapologetic attitude, some genuinely hoped she would work harder on her performances. If she continues to deliver shows like The Royals without improvement, it could negatively impact her career trajectory.
