Bhumi Pednekkar on gang rape incident

Talking to her Instagram stories, Bhumi shared a pic of news and wrote, "What is going on. We clearly are failing cause we haven`t till now been unable to instill fear into these monsters who think the can get away with sexual violence. Breaks my heart to see under age boys go through with something so heinous. Imagine the environments they are growing up in. We are punishing the voiceless in our country, and have sensationalised dogs being a threat! What about the fact, that a 6-year-old isn`t safe on our streets and actually no child is, cause in this case the perpetrators are also the victims. Wake up India.”

For those unversed, a six-year-old girl was allegedly gang-raped by three boys, aged 10, 13, and 14, in northeast Delhi’s Bhajanpura on January 18. Two of the accused have been apprehended, while the third boy and his family are missing. The victim, who lives with her parents and three siblings, is now stable and recovering at home.

Talking about the series, Bhumi Satish Pednekkar said, "Playing Rita Ferreira has been one of the most intense and creatively fulfilling experiences of my career. She is a woman forged by ambition, haunted by doubt, and burdened by the weight of her past, a character who demanded that I explore the delicate balance between vulnerability and strength in ways I had never done before. Stepping into her world was both challenging and deeply rewarding, as Rita`s journey mirrors the complexities we all face when confronting our own demons."
