Bhumi Pednekar advocates LGBTQI community, promotes equality in love
Bhumi Pednekar speaks in support of sex-gender marriage
After Kangana Ranaut, Bhumi Pednekar also came in support of same-sex marriage, Times of Indiareported.
The actress, who recently won a Filmfare Award for playing a lesbian role in Budhai Do, expressed her gratitude for the love she has gotten from the LGBTQI community.
The 33-year-old actress stated: “I received a lot of love. Winning a Filmfare is a personal victory for me but the kind of love that Badhaai Do got as a film is a victory for the LGBTQI + community. So, that’s when you realise that my country is changing and cinema is a part of that change.”
She further said: “Like the films I have done in the past, Badhaai Do is a film that is extremely important to me. It has a part of my soul attached to it only because I have so many friends in the LGBTQI + community.”
“The fact that I could represent them in whatever small way I could makes me feel that I am a part of the solution. I feel humbled, full of gratitude and motivated to keep pushing myself and I pray to God that I get my new opportunities like Badhaai Do, “ the Pati Patni Aur Woh actress continued.
Bhumi Pednekar added: “I just feel like Love is Love. As individuals we should have equality in every aspect. God has made all of us with the same thread and it is not upon us to form biases or judgment on what somebody’s life deserves to be. I’ve always said that I am an ally of LGBTQ community and I stand full of pride with them.”
