On Wednesday, Bhumi Pednekar was seen with her alleged boyfriend at the Mumbai airport. The unidentified man is Yash Kataria, a builder who shares friendships with various Bollywood celebrities including Rakul Preet Singh and Jackky Bhagnani. Speculation about their relationship began when they were spotted together at the wedding reception of Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani in Mumbai.
A video captured by a paparazzo at the airport shows Bhumi discreetly making her way towards the parking lot, while Yash walks separately towards the car. Eventually, they both end up sitting in the same car at the parking lot. Bhumi is dressed in a black sweatshirt and white track pants, while Yash is seen wearing a graphic white T-shirt and blue jeans. Despite some negative comments directed at Bhumi, one of her fans defended her, emphasizing the importance of understanding and compatibility beyond superficial factors like appearance and wealth. Another fan expressed their approval, stating that they believe Bhumi and Yash make a good couple.
Regarding Yash Kataria, a report states that he was seen bidding farewell to Bhumi at Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani’s reception. However, the related video was later removed from the internet. Bhumi and Yash follow each other on Instagram, and Yash is professionally involved in the construction industry.
In terms of Bhumi’s recent films, she appeared in Sudhir Misha’s “Afwaah” and previously starred in “Bheed” and “Govinda Naam Mera.” Her upcoming projects include “The Ladykiller,” in which she will co-star alongside Arjun Kapoor, portraying the story of a small-town playboy who falls in love with a self-destructive woman, leading them into a whirlwind romance. Additionally, she will feature in a romantic comedy titled “Meri Patna Ka Remake” alongside Arjun Kapoor and Rakul Preet Singh. Another film titled “Bhakshak” is also in her lineup.
Bhumi is recognized for her diverse range of roles and expressed her approach to selecting projects in a recent interview. She emphasized that she is not focused on conforming to industry norms or being a stereotypical leading lady. Bhumi intends to be remembered for her on-screen work and therefore prioritizes choosing films that offer something new, disruptive, or carry a meaningful message.
