What Bhumi said

Bhumi further added that the kind of roles she does, no one else can do and that's why she doesn't get worried about being typecast anymore. "Honestly I used to get worried about this and may be run away from it but now no. I feel like main jo karti hun vo koi aur nahin kar sakta," she told Pinkvilla. When Bhumi's claims made headlines, not many were in a mood to let go of this lightly.

Social media calls her 'audacious'

"Correct, you did thank you for coming... wo koi nahi karega... such a crap movie," wrote a user. "Self confidence of these two women Bhumi and tapsee Pannu, RIP," another user wrote. "Same small town roles..same one expression n dialogue delivery," read a comment. "I have noticed, the one who are really successful NEVER brag about 'themselves but one who aren't would always be a self-proclaimed successful and unmatched ones," another comment read.
