She
started
her
film
career
with
Dum
Laga
Ke
Haisha
and
will
next
be
seen
in
Toilet:
Ek
Prem
Katha
and
Shubh
Mangal
Saavdhan
--
both
stories
set
in
the
rural
milieu.
Actress
Bhumi
Pednekar
says
she
is
glad
that
stories
of
the
heartland
are
translating
into
"high
on
content" films
in
Bollywood.
At
a
press
conference,
Bhumi
reacted
heartily
when
told
by
the
emcee
that
she
is
being
called
Bollywood's
'village
girl',
given
her
choice
of
films.
She
laughed,
and
said:
"I
am
confused
if
that's
a
compliment
or..."
Toilet
Ek
Prem
Katha
is
comment
on
Soceity's
mindset,
says
Bhumi

When
reminded
that
by
doing
these
roles,
she
is
representing
the
masses,
Bhumi
added:
"Well,
yes,
that's
70
per
cent
of
our
country...
and
I
think
the
kind
of
films
that
are
being
appreciated
today,
the
kind
of
films
that
are
high
on
content
these
days,
are
heartland
stories."
"So
I
am
very
lucky
that
I
get
these
films.
But
as
far
as
I
am
non-village
in
my
real
life,
and
I
stick
to
being
Bhumi
(earthy),
it's
all
good."
In
Dum
Laga
Ke
Haisha,
Bhumi
essayed
the
role
of
an
educated
but
overweight
girl
Sandhya,
who
gets
married
to
a
school
drop-out.
Now
in
Toilet:
Ek
Prem
Katha,
she
is
seen
as
a
woman
who
gets
married
into
a
house
which
has
no
toilet
and
so,
women
go
out
in
the
fields
to
defecate.
Asked
if
she
has
ever
faced
any
such
issues
in
real
life,
Bhumi
said
she
did
when
they
used
to
go
on
road
trips
and
there
were
no
toilets
on
the
highways.
Now
things
are
changing,
added
the
actress,
who
will
also
be
seen
in
Shubh
Mangal
Saavdhan,
a
movie
which
takes
on
the
subjects
of
premarital
sex
and
erectile
dysfunction.
