Bhumi
Pednekar
got
talking
about
the
time
she
failed
film
school,
in
a
recent
interview.
Although
she
had
shared
this
incident
before,
she
further
revealed
that
she
ended
up
with
Rs
13
lakh
loan
to
pay
back,
which
she
had
borrowed
for
her
college.
Bhumi
opened
up
about
the
many
obstacles
she
had
to
overcome
to
become
an
actor.
Speaking
to
Deccan
Chronicle,
she
said,
"First,
I
tried
to
convince
my
parents
that
I
want
to
be
an
actor.
I
finally
mustered
the
courage
to
speak
to
them
about
it.
They
weren't
very
happy
and
I
think
they
were
being
protective
of
me.
So,
I
decided
to
join
film
school.
The
fee
was
high,
so
I
took
a
loan."
She
continued,
"I
failed
film
school
not
because
I
wasn't
a
good
actor
but
because
I
wasn't
disciplined
enough
and
that
was
the
biggest
jhatka.
I
was
like,
I
have
screwed
up
-
and
I
had
this
Rs
13
lakh
loan
on
my
head
-
it's
a
huge
amount."
Bhumi
added
that
she
started
looking
for
a
job
and
got
one
with
Yash
Raj
Films
as
a
casting
assistant.
After
sitting
through
other
actors'
auditions,
she
finally
auditioned
for
Dum
Laga
Ke
Haisha
and
the
rest
is
history.
She
has
worked
in
over
a
dozen
films
and
is
considered
one
of
the
finest
actors
in
the
Hindi
film
industry.

work,
Bhumi

last
