Gaining or losing weight to fit a certain character is nothing new for actors. When Bhumi Pednekkar debuted with Dum Laga Ke Haisha, she was required to gain a lot of weight for her character. Since then, she went on a journey to lose that weight and seemingly maintain it, but what bothers her is people asking if she used drugs like Ozempic or Mounjaro in her physical transformation. Now clarifying the same, Bhumi stated that she has not used any such drugs and has lost weight naturally. Know what she said below!
