Over the years, we have seen tons of South Indian actresses trying their luck in the Bollywood, but only a few had succeeded. While some had a terrible start, some had disappeared with time. But there's one actress, who hadn't done films in Bollywood just for the sake of adding numbers in her kitty. Yes! We are talking about Tere Naam and MS Dhoni: The Untold Story actress, Bhumika Chawla. The actress had impressed us with her stellar performances in these two and many other films over the years. The gorgeous beauty is from the nation's capital, New Delhi and was born and raised in a Punjabi family. She had started her journey of becoming an actress from working in Ad films and had later appeared in the popular series, Hip Hip Hurray on Zee TV. After much struggle, she had made her Bollywood debut opposite Bollywood superstar, Salman Khan in his career's most popular film to this day, Tere Naam.

The film turned out to be a blockbuster and had given Bhumika the best possible start to her journey in Bollywood. After Tere Naam, she had acted in Run, Dil Ne Jise Apna Kahaa, Silsilay, and Dil Jo Bhi Kahey. But after that, she had rejected many scripts because the roles for which she had come to the Hindi film industry, she wasn't getting them at all. So, the actress had decided to straighten her crown with pride and had gone back to the South Indian industry. The first film that she had done was Naa Autograph, and her decision of coming back to South had turned out to be a superb one as the film was a huge hit. The actress is always known for taking decisions with confidence and pride, without caring about the others. And, her successful marriage is an epitome of the same, as she had dated her teacher, Bharat Thakur for four years and had tied the marital knot with him later.
