Bollywood diva Bhumi Pednekar is one of the top stars in the film industry today. From being an overweight person in Dum Laga Ke Haisha to being the leading lady in Bhakshak, Bhumi has come a long way. Not many know that she has a real sister named Samiksha, who bears an uncanny resemblance to the actress. People often mistake Samiksha for Bhumi and this has become a normal case for the sister duo. In a recent chat with a media portal, the sister duo revealed how they deal with such situations where people get confused about their identity.
In an interview with Hindustan Times, Bhumi said, “We never thought we looked alike at all. It’s actually a very recent phenomenon, but it happens every day, now more than ever. We have accepted that we might look alike, but we don’t see it.”
Samiksha added, “Even when we perform internationally, people think we are twins. I often get mistaken for Bhumi. Sometimes I get carried away because I can’t explain it all the time.”
During the same chat, the sisters also revealed how they resolve each other’s problems. Samiksha said, “Bhumi has been my sounding board for everything. So, if I’m ever stuck somewhere, she has to resolve the problem. I don’t know how, but she always magically finds a solution. She’s my favourite agony aunt. Whenever I don’t feel complete, I listen to her voice more than the voice in my head. On my down days, a lot of my self-love comes from her.”
Sharing her memories of Raksha Bandhan, Bhumi added, “Ever since we were young, our mother would make us tie rakhi for each other. So, for us, Raksha Bandhan is not gender-bound. It’s about two siblings supporting, protecting and being there for each other. Samiksha and I, in the truest way, embody that.”
On the work front, Bhumi had a voice cameo in Akshay KumarKhel Khel Mein, star of ‘s. We will next see her in the Netflix series The Royals.
