Bhumi happy to get star 'named' after herself (Movie Snippets)

Actress Bhumi Pednekar has a 'star' registered in her name now. And she has promised "this star" will keep shining "brighter".

"I am a STAR....and only cause of all the love you guys give me. Really. Team Bhumi Pednekar you truly made my day. I'm so overwhelmed by your love and faith in me. This star will keep shining brighter, I promise... So thoughtful," Bhumi tweeted.

The "Dum Laga Ke Haisha" actress turned a year older on Wednesday.

Along with her post, she uploaded a 'Certificate of Registry' from the Intergalactic Star Database, which is essentially like a novelty gift.

It reads: "Intergalactic Star Database number ISD0411819 will hereby be known as The Bhumi Star. This star was registered in star location NGC162 within the intergalactic star database situated in the constellation Andromeda. This listing will be recorded with the Intergalactic Star Database and members will be made aware of future publications featuring this information."

Was fascinating to work with Tigmanshu Dhulia: Chitrangada

Actress Chitrangada Singh, who will soon to be seen in Tigmanshu Dhulia's "Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster 3", says it was a fascinating experience to be directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia.

"I used to look forward to going for the shooting of the film and I think that happens when we love doing what we are doing. It was fascinating to work with Tigmanshu Dhulia because he is not only a good director but also a good actor. So whenever he is explaining something, his briefing is not only as a director but also as an actor," she told IANS.

She plays a complex woman in the film.

"Tigmanshu knew that character very well. So as an actor, it was a learning for me to be nuanced with her. How, a woman who can talk like 'Humein aapke bade bhai ki rakheyal kahate hai', would sit down, how much will she shy, hesitate and be firm - such little details I used to learn from our director."

The action thriller is releasing on July 27, and also features Sanjay Dutt, Jimmy Shergill and Mahie Gill.
