Bala: Bhumi Pednekar REACTS To Criticism Over Playing A Dark Skin Character

Bhumi Pednekar is currently enjoying all the love her latest release ‘Bala ‘ is receiving. Directed by Amar Kaushik, the film also stars Ayushmann Khurrana and Yami Gautam in the lead roles.

In the film, Bhumi’s character is a girl with a dark skin tone. From the day Bala‘s trailer came out, there has been criticism of starring Bhumi in the role instead of actually taking a dark-skinned actress to play the role.

In an interview with Pinkvilla, when the Sonchiriya actress was asked her views on the whole controversy, she said, “I’m an actor. It’s my job to be able to transform. If I don’t do that, then I shouldn’t play Sandhya and shouldn’t do Dum Laga Ke Haisha because I wasn’t naturally of that size. I can’t do Sudha or any parts that I do.”
