Bhumi Pednekar spoke about the gender pay gap in the film industry- emphasizing that the issue extends far beyond cinema and affects women across various fields.

She conveyed hope that the rise of more producers dedicated to fairness would help close this disparity.
Bhumi Pednekar’s latest work
Bhumi is now appearing in Mere Husband Ki Biwi, a Mudassar Aziz romantic comedy. Arjun Kapoor and Rakul Preet Singh play significant roles in the love triangle, with the film hitting theaters on Friday, February 22.
Critics gave it a range of reviews from mixed to highly positive, particularly applauding the comedy. Despite this, its box-office performance did not meet expectations. On its first day, it made only ₹1.50 crore at the domestic box office.
