Mumbai, Oct 3 (NationPress) Similar to countless individuals, actress Bhumi Pednekar is familiar with skin challenges. In her latest Instagram Story, the 'Dum Laga Ke Haisha' star candidly discussed her ongoing battle with eczema.

Bhumi disclosed that she has been grappling with this condition since her childhood and received a formal diagnosis three years ago.

While applying her makeup in the bathroom, she highlighted her eczema's recent flare-ups, which she links to frequent travel, an unhealthy diet, and stress.

The 'Badhaai Do' actress expressed, "Every time I travel or my diet goes awry or I'm stressed—the root of all issues—my eczema acts up. It's incredibly frustrating, as it's both painful and uncomfortable. I'll share more about it soon. Also, the lighting in this bathroom (sic)."

Earlier that same day, Bhumi emphasized her commitment to empowering India and uplifting communities through her work.

During an exclusive chat with IANS, she elaborated on the deeper purpose behind her career.

She remarked, "I recognize that my contributions extend beyond entertainment. They play a role in transforming mindsets and elevating communities, especially in my homeland. I proudly wear my nationality as a badge of honor, and I am determined to assist as many people as possible in my country."

Moreover, Bhumi pointed out that the success of actors, musicians, and other public figures is often supported by fans who purchase tickets to their films, attend their performances, and engage with their social media.

Professionally, Bhumi is set to appear in the web series “Daldal”, where she will portray a police officer. Her upcoming projects also include the historical drama “Takht”.
