I started to question myself after hearing the sonchiriya scenario: Bhumi Pednekar

Sonchiriya's narrative by director Abhishek Chaubey blew the mind of actor Bhumi Pednekar. But the woman in her felt privileged and uncomfortable at the same time.

"I started to question myself. I said to myself, "I am this city dweller. I am a man of opinion and I have a lot of ego. I have power and I am strong. But there is a huge part of society that still does not have the power to say no. "The kind of things that happen to my character was so heartbreaking for me," said the actor after the world premiere of Sonchiriya.

Bhumi Pednekar plays a disillusioned woman, Indumati Tomar, from Chambal, who runs away from her home to protect a little girl. Sonchiriya shows Indumati as a victim of deeply rooted patriarchy in India

. She said, "The first time I heard the script, I was honestly broken. Abhishek (Chaubey), sir, commented on many things that are still very relevant and prevalent in our society. I will talk more about patriarchy. What I like most about my character is that this girl does not know that she has opinions or strength, but she is pushed into a dead end where her natural instincts manifest themselves. "

" And the caste divides! Abhishek, sir, spoke of the caste bias we have in our country. We obviously do not realize it, but it's really deep, "said Bhumi Pednekar, overwhelmed, adding that Sonchiriya was so special to her that she started crying after several people rented the movie.
