Bhumi Pednekar has openly discussed coping with body image issues and dealing with online trolls by developing resilience and cultivating inner strength. She acknowledges that body shaming and trolling are common experiences for public figures like herself, especially as a woman. Bhumi shared that she has become "thick-skinned" over time, learning to accept criticism without letting it undermine her confidence. Despite facing harsh comments even when fully covered in photos, she emphasizes that trolls always find something to criticize but her ambition and drive keep her motivated[2][4][6][8]. She also spoke about the mental challenges of seeing critically acclaimed films underperform at the box office and how those moments have taught her that she is more than her work; she has a voice and purpose beyond film success. This realization fuels her resilience[4]. Regarding body image and physical health, Bhumi revealed that over-exercising early in her fitness journey caused physical damage due to insufficient recovery time. She has since shifted her focus from burning calories to achieving balance and healing, drastically reducing her workout intensity to about 20% of what it was four years ago, which she credits for her current fitness and well-being[3][7]. In summary, Bhumi Pednekar copes with body image pressures and trolling through resilience, self-acceptance, and by prioritizing balance and health in her fitness routine, reaffirming her identity beyond public scrutiny and criticism.
