Bhumi feeds families as a tribute to SSR
Actor Bhumi Pednekar, who worked with Sushant Singh Rajput in Sonchiriya last year, is deeply shocked with the sudden demise of her co-star. She recently took to Instagram and penned an emotional note remembering the actor.
In a mark of tribute for the late young actor, she is joining hands with director Abhishek Kapoor’s wife Pragya’s Ek Saath-The Earth Foundation, to feed 550 impoverished families.
“I pledge to feed 550 impoverished families. Let us show compassion and love towards everyone that is in need, now more than ever,” says she.
‘The interesting part about the series is that it comes as a breath of fresh air on the digital platform which has a lot of dark content. While on one hand, it will entertain and has a lighter vein, on the other, it reflects some important issues of the society which we do not discuss aloud, such as the hypocrisy of a repressive society, adolescent sexuality and others.’

Manushi says, “I have been blessed and fortunate enough to have had a safe, healthy and happy childhood. Today, I realise the importance of my upbringing that has impacted and shaped my value system, my perspective to the world and people and also made me the person that I’m today. I’m also disturbed knowing many children of my country don’t get the childhood that they deserve.”
‘I'm as vulnerable as anybody else’
Hollywood actor Chris Hemsworth is as vulnerable as anybody else and grapples with uncertainties just like everyone.
The actor says he looks at vulnerability as an access point for the audience and feels they make the character more relatable. “I'm as vulnerable as anybody else,” Hemsworth said.
“You know, anything involving children, children (being) in jeopardy or if their safety is threatened, having children myself, it's certainly easier to sort of draw upon the visceral nature of what that the circumstances would evoke in you,” he added.
