Weight has never been an issue for me: Bhumi Pednekar

For Bhumi Pednekar, putting on oodles of weight for her debut film "Dum Laga Ke Haisha" was not a problem as the actress says being a plump girl almost all her life she has always been comfortable in her skin. The 25-year-old actress, who has earned wide-spread praise for her character Sandhya in the film, said being a hard-core foodie she loved preparing for the part that only required gorging on delicacies. "I have been an over-weight girl all my life and I have been very comfortable with it. I wore what I wanted, did what I wanted. It was never a hindrance for me. So, when they told me I had to gain more weight, I was actually really happy because I am a foodie. "No actress gets the chance to eat butter chicken, dal makhni on sets everyday. Eating was part of the preparation. It was the best months of my life," Bhumi told.
