Bhumika Chawla: I’m More South Indian Than Punjabi!

Bhumika speaks exclusively to JFW!

So, is this a comeback to Bollywood?

If comeback means, singing films left, right and center, then for me this is not a comeback. For me, the moment I get another good film with a good team, I would love to do it. But if it’s not the case, I don’t think it’s worth my while to leave my son and go out and work.Fortunately,I’m blessed enough to have everything that I need and I don’t have to work unless it means professional satisfaction. So, if I do get good offers, why not!

How was the experience working with Sushant Singh Rajput?

He is a good actor, a very fine performer. He is dedicated to what he is doing. He has been doing a lot of good work. He normally doesn’t talk much, but whenever we were on sets together, we bonded well.

You started your career in the South. How comfortable were you with adapting to the environment, the language and everything else?

During those initial days, South Indian languages were like German and French to me, they didn’t quite make any sense. Over the years, I became more of a South Indian than a Punjabi. I started enjoying the food; I like the South Indian fare more. Even today I’m more comfortable visiting South than visiting the North. I’ve adapted very well to it. I think I’m one of those typical South girls now.  And how can I not be, I’m speaking their tongue, eating their food and working in their films. Work has been extremely satisfying here, I’ve enjoyed every film that I was part of. And this industry will always be closer to my heart than anything else.
