Bhumi Pednekar calls Thank You For Coming “perfect film”; speaks on the need for it in a patriarchal society

Bhumi says, "I’m a city girl and somehow I have never played a role like this in my career. So, I’m really glad that Karan Boolani and Rhea Kapoor has presented me in a real, relatable self in Thank You For Coming. I was born and brought up in Mumbai. I proudly represent the free-spirited, independent, ambitious women of my country."

Bhumi’s performance has won her unanimous acclaim from critics. She says, "I’m also happy that people have loved my turn as the city girl, celebrating womanhood like never before on the big screen. The actor in me always wants to explore roles and take on new challenges."

Bhumi’s latest release is a take on patriarchy and it focuses on a girl’s right to self-pleasure that is not dependent on a man.

She says, "I think TYFC has been the perfect film for me to also tell people that I’m not shy to pick up subjects that could be considered taboo. I felt the need to do this film especially because we do live in a patriarchal society where the needs of a woman are always secondary to the needs of a man."
