Bhumi Pednekar, a well-known face in Bollywood, recently shared a glimpse into her early days at Yash Raj Films. She fondly remembered receiving her first paycheck from the renowned studio, a modest sum of Rs 7,000.

In a candid conversation with Mashable, Bhumi shared, "My very first earnings came through Yash Raj Films. I was overjoyed with the Rs 7,000 I received. I handed it to my mom, and I believe she still keeps it safe. Those days, a significant portion of my earnings went towards repaying a loan I had taken while pursuing my film studies."


Bhumi remembered being asked to leave Whistling Woods college due to insufficient attendance. She sought opportunities as an assistant director through friends, but YRF came forward with an offer to work as an assistant casting director instead.

Reflecting on her six-year tenure as a casting director, Bhumi expressed, "I was quite adept at casting, and during those six years, I engaged in a variety of roles at YRF. I conducted the audition for Pankaj Tripathi sir for Powder. I believe he recalls it too, as we had a conversation about that."
