Bhumi Pednekar discovers her sister is getting married

Actress Bhumi Pednekar recently took to social media to share a heartfelt post reflecting on her past few weeks.

On Sunday, the ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’ star posted a series of photos along with a caption offering fans a glimpse into her life over the past few days. Sharing the post, Bhumi wrote, “Past few days: From being on set to finding out my soul sister is getting married, to meeting my friends like family after many months, to spending the day redoing the house, to just living my life. It was,” followed by sparkle emojis.

From sharing candid selfies and dropping a video of her doing makeup to dancing at a club, the ‘Bhakshak’ star gave fans a sneak peek into her fun-filled days. Bhumi had earlier posted a series of glamorous photos, writing, “Selfie Game Going #Monday.” In the images, Bhumi was seen striking different poses.

Pednekar recently graced Kusha Kapila’s talk show “Tinder Swipe Ride”, where she opened up about her relationship preferences and what she values most in a partner. The actress, known for her candid personality, shared that kindness and respect for others are crucial qualities she seeks in a potential partner.

When discussing the traits she looks for, Bhumi emphasized the importance of emotional connection and mutual support. “I want someone who is kind, treats people well, and takes pride in what I do. It’s vital for your partner to feel proud of your accomplishments,” she said.

On the work front, Bhumi’s latest project is the crime thriller “Bhakshak”, where she plays a fierce journalist determined to uncover the truth. She will next be seen in the upcoming comedy “Mere Husband Ki Biwi”, directed by Mudassar Aziz. The film also stars Arjun Kapoor and Rakul Preet Singh.

Additionally, Bhumi is set to star in Netflix’s upcoming romance series “The Royals”, which features a star-studded cast including Ishaan Khatter, Zeenat Aman, Nora Fatehi, and Milind Soman.

Matka Days 1 Opens With a Whimper: Varun Tej’s Tough Luck

In the movie industry, box office receipts frequently reflect the reaction of the audience; sometimes they are positive, and other times they show the flaws. Varun Tej’s much awaited Matka had every indication of becoming a smash, but its Day 1 receipts seem to indicate otherwise. The movie opened to mediocre reviews and a lackluster reception at the box office, suggesting that while expectations were high, the reality was a little less glamorous. The response to this Karuna Kumar-directed and Vyra Entertainments-produced mafia drama was muted since it failed to live up to the early success of Tej’s previous works.

The protagonist of Matka is Varun Tej’s character Vasu, who is deeply ingrained in the gambling and corrupt industries. With the Matka gambling game as its backdrop, the movie examines Vasu’s ascent from poverty to prominence. The film’s early reception has been ambivalent, despite an intriguing premise and strong performances by the cast, which includes Meenakshi Choudhary and Nora Fatehi. Varun Tej fans were hoping for a high-octane smash, but the movie’s sluggish box office debut indicates that it could require more than just a compelling story and strong performances to make a difference.

Matka received mixed reviews on social media and only made a meager Rs. 0.70 crore on its first day of release. Matka has been left behind by Kanguva, a competitor that was published around the same time and has had a far more successful opening. Although the figures are not disastrous, they most definitely fall short of what is expected of a movie of this size. The movie will require more than a few encouraging tweets to change the tide, as theater occupancy is less than 20% and early reviews indicate a mixed reception.

As word of mouth spreads, fans continue to expect for an increase in collections as Matka settles into its weekend run. One can never undervalue the power of a good underdog story, so even if it might not have been the blockbuster Varun Tej was looking for, there is always hope for a comeback. I hope the Matka kings do not become pawns in the game of box office politics!
