In life, whether you are five, twenty-five or forty-five, you can never really make peace with the fact of losing your closed ones, especially, your parents. Your entire world changes, the moment you lose a close family member. The pain of never seeing them and listen to their voice keeps on haunting you forever. And Bollywood actress, Bhumi Pednekar felt the same pain before entering the world of glam and glitz when she had lost her father.

Recently, in an interview with Pinkvilla, Bhumi opened up on the huge loss and shared, "We were quite young. I was 18, Samiksha was probably 15 when we lost our dad due to cancer. We saw him through prolonged sickness and really suffer a lot. Obviously, losing a parent is never easy and I had a wonderful father. He was just a father. We miss him every day but my mom is made of something else, she really got us together. I think just us as a family, we went into warrior mode post that."
She further added, "I start working, 10 times harder than I would. We both just grew up and realised that s*** is getting real, and we need to get our act together. The two years were a mess but we gathered ourselves really fast. Today when we look back, we wonder how we survived those days, how we got through it, but it happened."

Bhumi shares a beautiful relationship with her mother and credits her for her success. In an interview with the Bombay Times, Bhumi had talked about her mother's role in her life and had shared, "I am proud of my mother and my naani. My mother was an integral part of my prep for Saand Ki Aankh. She was with me throughout the journey of this film. She worked so hard on me -- she helped me get the body language and the twang right. I don’t speak Haryanvi but she is a tenth Haryanvi who is very proud of her roots. So, she also polished my Hindi-laced Haryanvi. This is the first time she’s worked so hard on me. The last time she did something like this was when I was passing out of school. She was with me through the film; I didn’t let her go home from the set. I needed her support because she’s the only one who could understand and absorb what I was saying. She also knew about the daadis and about the community. When you’re working on a difficult film like this, your family is the only thing that can see you through."
