Sharing the clip, Bhumi wrote on her social media, “Firsts are always special. Can't believe it has been 8 years already! ❤️ I was so fortunate to have started my career as an actor with a film that broke the stereotype of how heroines were presented in Indian cinema.”

She added, “I was proud to be the new @yrf heroine - real, authentic, proud, righteous, self-reliant, body-positive and a girl who was so so beautiful. Body-shaming is a big social evil. Let’s celebrate every human being’s right to individuality.”
