In an interview back in 2015, Bhumi revealed that people failed did not recognize her after she shed her weight.

Her debut movie required the actress to increase her weight so that she perfectly fits in the character. Therefore she put on 10 to 15 kgs for it. She told in an interview taken 6 years back that people could not recognize her after she lost the weight she had put on. She further said that she was unsure of feeling good or bad about it. But at that moment she was just enjoying the success of her movie. She was also awarded the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut for her performance in the movie.
