Bhumi Pednekars adorable Valentines Day post is for the new-age romantic
Bhumi Pednekar's adorable Valentine's Day post is for the new-age romantic. Bhumi shared a set of pictures of herself and Badhaai Do co-star Chum Darang goofing around, captioning it: “Raj Aur Simran, Heer Aur Ranjha, Sumi Aur Rimjhim, Shardul Aur Guru, Happy Valentine's Day.” She signed off with a couple of emojis – a heart and a rainbow. Bhumi and Chum play Sumi and Rimjhim in Badhaai Do, a same-sex couple navigating social norms that stigmatise relationships such as theirs. Shardul and Guru are the second same-sex romance in the film, played by lead actor Rajkummar Rao and Gulshan Devaiah in a cameo.
Per Bhumi Pednekar's caption, Sumi-Rimjhim and Shardul-Guru's stories are no less than those of the great jodis of legend. Raj and Simran (played by Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol) of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge are the gold standard of filmy romance; star-crossed lovers Heer and Ranjha from Punjabi folklore are the ultimate in tragic love stories.
Happy Valentine's Day from Sumi and Rimjhim. See Bhumi Pednekar's post here:
