Actress and environmental advocate Bhumi Pednekar continues to lead by example when it comes to sustainability. A vocal supporter of climate consciousness and an active advocate with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Bhumi recently shared her thoughts at an environmental conclave, urging people to rethink their consumption habits—starting with fashion.
Speaking at the event, Bhumi emphasized the urgent need for a shift in lifestyle choices, particularly in how we view and use clothing. “Consumption habits need to change,” she said. “Reuse, upcycle, and recycle—these are part of our Hindustani culture. My sister wears my clothes, and I do a lot of vintage shopping and thrifting. I repeat my clothes all the time—on shows, at red carpet events, and even at my friend’s wedding!”
Her grounded approach stands out in an industry often associated with excess and fast fashion. Bhumi also shared that her commitment to sustainability extends beyond fashion. “I compost at home. These are things I’ve incorporated into my daily life,” she added.
Bhumi’s consistent choices—both personal and professional—reflect a deep-rooted commitment to the environment. Her habits around reusing clothing, thrifting, and composting are not just lifestyle preferences but are part of a broader message: to inspire others to take responsibility for their actions and embrace eco-friendly living.
Off-screen, she’s setting a standard for mindful living. On-screen, Bhumi is gearing up for some exciting new roles. She will soon be seen in Daldal, an upcoming thriller that promises to showcase her in a fresh, dynamic light. Additionally, fans are eagerly waiting for her return as Sophia Shekhar in the second season of The Royals.
With her thoughtful project choices and a personal life rooted in sustainability, Bhumi Pednekar continues to shape both the cinematic and environmental narrative—proving that meaningful change starts with individual action.
