Bhumika Chawla quotes

# “I sometimes get a bit embarrassed when I have to shoot for romantic scenes. When Abhishek came and said ‘I Love You’, I don’t know what happened but suddenly I felt very shy and had to ask for retake.” [ about Run]

# “Salman is correct when he says that it is not right to call him bhai in public when the same audience see us romancing before camera. He jokes that people would call us Bhai-Behen ki jodi.” [ about salman's advice]

# “Salman is a darling and a gem of a person. I think it is because of his recommendation I have got another film Dil Ne Jisse Apna Kaha.”

# “Good to work with ad films. I am glad I have started my career with ad films. It is there where I have learnt nuances of acting and expressions.”

# “No. I do not believe that exposure gets offers. I would like to be a glamorous artiste but not an exposing artiste.”

# ” I swear I don’t have any one special nor am I dating anyone. Just because I acted in Surya Productions movie everyone framed out a story and said that there was something going on between the actor and me. I even acted in Rojakootam with Srikanth and everyone got excited with another story that I am involved him. With my career growth this has been bothering me a lot.”

# “There was never any romance nor am I involved with any one at the moment. I am single and I hope to remain the same for sometime atleast. I will be not be affected with such statements or rumours and I am used this sort of gossips.”

# ‘If you track my career so far, I’ve been selective. I’ve worked with directors I’ve believed in. It’s not always about working with the topline actors and filmmakers, because you never know what works and what doesn’t.”

# ‘Yes, I am happy with the relationship. There is nothing to hide, but I wouldn’t go public with my feelings. When you fall in love, you see a future ahead. So, see I’m a positive person. Why say anything beyond that?” [about her relationship with Bharat Thakur]
