Actor Bhumi Pednekkar has said women are “more courageous” in choosing risky scripts, crediting streaming platforms for strengthening female-led narratives in India. Speaking at the International Film Festival Delhi 2026, she noted, “With OTT, especially for women, the narrative has become a lot stronger. OTT gives them the right platform.” Reflecting on her journey since Dum Laga Ke Haisha (2015), Bhumi advised aspiring actors, “If you have a dream, many will say ‘no’, but you have to listen to that ‘yes’. Stay safe and trust your instincts.”
