Bhumi Pednekar shares how she ‘gets high' on life while shooting on set
Actress Bhumi Pednekar recently offered a glimpse into what keeps her spirits soaring on set. In a candid moment, she shared how she often 'gets high' on life while working. Taking to Instagram, Bhumi shared photos of herself from the sets, writing, 'Bun maska and chai gets me high.' In the images, the Bhakshak actress is seen enjoying tea with bun maska.
In the video, Pednekar could be heard saying, 'Bread, butter, and chai ultimate.' Bhumi shared a series of photos from the sets, capturing the cozy mood of a rainy-day shoot. Along with her post, she used hashtags like #monsoons, #onset, #filming, #BhumiPednekar, and #chai — perfectly summing up her love for simple pleasures during a busy filming schedule.
Professionally, the 'Badhaai Do' actress was most recently seen in the series 'The Royals,' which also starred Ishaan Khatter, Zeenat Aman, Sakshi Tanwar, Nora Fatehi, Vihaan Samat, Dino Morea, and Milind Soman. Directed by Priyanka Ghose and Nupur Asthana, the romantic comedy centered on a once-wealthy royal family in present-day India, facing financial hardships. Their fate begins to change when the family's heir partners with a hospitality entrepreneur to transform their ancestral palace into a high-end resort.
In the show, Bhumi Pednekar played Sophia Kanmani Shekhar, the CEO of Work Potato and the love interest of Fizzy. The series premiered on Netflix on May 9, 2025, and was renewed for a second season on May 28.
Tanya Bami, Series Head, Netflix India, added, 'Rom-coms have a timeless charm; they make us laugh, believe in love, and embrace the beautiful chaos that comes with it. With The Royals, we've created a modern love story that has an equally modern-day conflict. While Bridgerton and Emily in Paris showed the world how compelling romantic sagas can be, The Royals brings that sizzle and swoon to a world that's unapologetically Indian.
Creators Rangita Pritish Nandy and Ishita Pritish Nandy said, 'With The Royals, we've mounted a romance that whips together the old-world charm of palaces and Indian royalty with glass-walled boardrooms and modern reality—where love is anything but easy.'
The creators shared that the series is about two people from completely different worlds, each fighting their own battles, constantly at odds, yet irresistibly drawn to each other in ways they never expected.
Bhumi is next gearing up for the release of the psychological thriller 'Daldal.' In an Instagram post, the actress had opened up about her character in the upcoming web series. Reflecting on what she described as a year-long journey, she shared her excitement and nervousness about portraying a role she considers one of the most complex and layered of her career.

6 Games to Play While You Wait for Squid Game Season 3
If you're craving the high-stakes drama, psychological mind games, and survival chaos of Squid Game, you're not alone. While we all await the release of Season 3, why not dive into video games that echo the show's intense themes? From twisted social experiments to fast-paced death matches, these six games will scratch that Squid Game itch in all the best (and worst) ways. 1. Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony If you loved Squid Game 's psychological mind games, Danganronpa V3 is a perfect fit. In this visual novel-meets-murder mystery, a group of high school students are trapped and forced to kill each other to escape—sound familiar? Twists, betrayals, and courtroom drama make this a darkly addictive playthrough. 2. Mortal Kombat Sometimes, you just want the raw brutality that Squid Game so often teases—and Mortal Kombat delivers in spades. Its over-the-top fatalities, epic character roster, and tournament-style structure align well with the do-or-die mechanics of the Netflix hit. Plus, the stakes? Always fatal. 3. The Last of Us Part I For those who connected with the emotional depth behind Squid Game 's violent façade, The Last of Us Part I offers a gripping, character-driven survival story. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, it's about trust, loss, and what people will do to survive—key themes in Squid Game. 4. Fortnite Hear us out—while Fortnite may not have the bleak tone of Squid Game, it mirrors the battle royale format. With its constantly shifting rules, shrinking zones, and everyone-for-themselves setup, Fortnite is the colorful, chaotic cousin of Squid Game 's more brutal games. 5. We Happy Few Like the eerie, dystopian vibe of the Squid Game facilities? We Happy Few drops you into a drug-controlled society where conformity is enforced, and rebellion is dangerous. Expect unsettling visuals, survival mechanics, and a creeping sense of unease that fans of the show will appreciate. 6. Deathloop Much like the layered structure of Squid Game, Deathloop offers a mind-bending challenge: you're trapped in a time loop with eight targets to eliminate before midnight. Stealth, strategy, and a race against time make this one a cerebral thrill, perfect for fans who love to unravel mysteries. Whether you're here for the survival tension, the emotional unraveling, or the stylish dystopia, these six games channel the Squid Game spirit in fascinating ways. Dive in, gear up, and may the odds be ever in your favor—until Season 3 hits your screen.
