Bhumi Pednekar has had quite a great start to 2018. To begin with, her name has been listed in this year’s India 30 Under 30 list of a reputed magazine. The actress also represented Indian cinema at the Berlin International Film Festival! Talking about the same, she told a leading daily, "I went with a delegation that was headed by filmmaker Karan Johar. Honestly, it feels amazing and special, as it has happened so early in my career. I will complete three years in Bollywood on February 27. It especially feels nice to know that all this is happening only because of my films. It shows that your films have left a mark. Whatever little knowledge I have, people listened to it."

When asked about being listed in the 30 Under 30 list she said, "I think that richness is a very subjective thing. I am rich, thanks to the love and appreciation that I have got over the past few years. I remember when they had started the list, I dreamt of being on it one day. Now, being featured on the list makes me really happy. I feel privileged and honoured to be featured among such amazing people from different fields including innovation, sports and entertainment."

Bhumi is currently busy shooting for Abhishek Chaubey's 'Son Chiriya' which stars Sushant Singh Rajput alongside her. Talking about the film, Bhumi said, "'Son Chiriya' is a special film with lovely co-stars and a sorted out director. I am happy the way film is shaping up. I feel like my hard work has paid off. By now, I am clear that there are no shortcuts and the only way to do it is to slog your ass off. Sushant is a very hard-working actor. We complement each others' performances. Abhishek has always been on my list of directors. So, I feel extremely lucky to be working with him."
