She
has
managed
to
light
up
the
screen
with
her
girl-next-door
roles
in
Dum
Laga
Ke
Haisha
and
Toilet:
Ek
Prem
Katha
and
Bhumi
Pednekar
says
she
will
not
take
up
run-of-the-mill
glamorous
roles
just
for
the
sake
of
it.
The
28-year-old
actor,
whose
Shubh
Mangal
Saavdhan
released
today,
says
like
any
other
artiste
she
wants
to
do
diverse
roles
but
not
for
some
image
makeover.
In
an
interview
with
PTI,
Bhumi
says,
"I
am
an
actor
and
I
want
to
do
every
kind
of
role.
I
am
happy
to
be
a
part
of
cinema
today,
where
we
are
celebrating
and
exploring
stories
that
are
both
real
and
entertaining.
"Just
wearing
expensive
and
glamorous
clothes
do
not
merit
for
me
to
do
a
film.
There
has
to
be
a
good
story
and
a
good
role."

The
actor
will
be
seen
opposite
her
Dum
Laga
Ke
Haisha
co-star
Ayushmann
Khurrana
in
the
RS
Prassana-directed
film,
where
her
character
discovers
that
her
fiance
suffers
from
erectile
dysfunction.
Talking
about
the
film's
bold
subject,
Bhumi
says,
"It
should
not
be
considered
as
a
taboo.
It
is
not
a
film
about
erectile
dysfunction,
it
is
a
love
story
where
the
conflict
is
the
problem
that
happens
with
the
boy.
"We
all
are
responsible
people
and
we
did
not
want
to
turn
it
into
a
sex
comedy
because
it
is
not
that.
These
characters
are
naive
and
innocent."
Bhumi
says
both
producer
Aanand
L
Rai
and
the
director
have
a
subtle
manner
of
driving
the
point
home.
"They
have
a
clean
way
of
saying
things
through
cinema.
The
effort
to
show
it
all
in
an
innocent
way
is
deliberate."
The
actor
is
revelling
in
the
success
of
Toilet:
Ek
Prem
Katha
and
says
she
did
not
anticipate
such
an
overwhelming
response
for
the
movie.
Released
on
August
11,
the
film
has
reportedly
done
a
business
of
Rs
200
crore
worldwide.
"The
film
had
a
bigger
purpose
than
just
doing
well
commercially.
I
am
glad
the
film
did
well.
I
did
not
have
a
moment
to
celebrate
as
I
got
busy
promoting
'Shubh...'.
Also,
it
(the
success)
has
not
sunk
in
yet."
Bhumi
says
she
does
not
understand
the
number
game
but
it
is
a
motivating
factor
when
her
films
do
well
at
the
box
office.
"I
don't
understand
the
economics
of
it.
I
feel
good
when
my
films
get
all
the
love,
respect
and
appreciation.
That
is
my
driving
force
to
do
better
work
in
future,"
she
adds.
