Bhumi, known for her strong and unconventional roles, has rarely ventured into traditional romance narratives, preferring stories that delve deeper into the complexities of love.

"I will only be a part of the [romance] genre when the story has more to say than just boy-meets-girl and they fall in love," Bhumi explained. She believes love is "one of the greatest things that can happen to any individual" but also "complicated and complex," and she aims to be part of stories that explore these multiple shades.

When asked if her perspective on love is based on personal experiences, Bhumi shared that "everybody goes through complex love situations," drawing from the experiences of her friends, family, and even her parents. She noted that while there is often pressure around relationships not working out, it can also be a positive outcome for the individuals involved.
