Actress Bhumi Pednekkar recently revisited Rishikesh, where she had poignant memories of her first visit in 2011 to bid farewell to her father. Returning to shoot her debut film “Dum Laga Ke Haisha” with Ayushmann Khurrana, she immersed herself in the spiritual aura of the city, even taking part in the Ganga Arti.
Reflecting on her deep bond with Rishikesh, Bhumi expressed, “Wasn’t even supposed to be here. Dehradun had called me for an event, but Rishikesh called me louder.” She shared how her initial visits to the Ganga were to bid adieu to her father and film her first movie, making the city more than just a location but a meaningful connection she often revisits for solace.
Bhumi’s father, Satish Pednekar, a respected politician who served as Maharashtra’s Home and Labour Minister, passed away in 2011 due to cancer. Meanwhile, the film “Dum Laga Ke Haisha” marked its 11th anniversary in February this year, with Ayushmann Khurrana reminiscing about a favorite scene that beautifully conveyed unspoken emotions through music.
