Bhumi Pednekar wins Face of Asia title at Busan fest.

A quick glance at her line-up of work reveals that Bhumi Pednekar is surely and steadily making her place in the industry. Even as she has been promoting Saand Ki Aankh on home turf, the actor took off to South Korea for the Busan International Film Festival where her film, Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare is set to be screened.
