Bhumi Pednekar insists that she prefers quality over quantity. That perhaps explains her solo release this year—Lust Stories on Netflix. And her performance in Zoya Akhtar’s film was widely appreciated despite the near absence of dialogues for her character. “Lust Stories taught me that there can’t just be one method of conveying something. You don’t always need words. Even if we feel it [the emotion] as human beings, we have the capability of communicating it in so many different ways. It has truly added a lot to me as a performer,” says Pednekar, a member of Forbes India’s 30 Under 30 List for 2018.
