The short follows Bhumi, an underrated actress frustrated by being typecast, who is offered the role of a mother—a part she initially resists. The plot thickens when her younger flatmate Meenakshi asks for help with the same audition. The film sheds light on the broader ecosystem of cinema, including the struggles of independent filmmakers working on short films, and the harsh realities confronting aspiring actors in a highly competitive industry.
Kusha who is primarily known for her comedic online work, takes on a prominent acting role in Vyarth. She is also stepping into production as a co-producer. Speaking about the film, Kusha said, "The moment I got my hands on the Vyarth's script—just 17 powerful pages—I felt an instant, undeniable pull. It wasn't just a story; it was a mirror reflecting so many unspoken realities that resonated deeply within me. I knew then and there that this wasn't just a role I wanted to play, but a story I absolutely had to bring to life.
There's something incredibly universal about its theme, and I genuinely believe that everyone who watches Vyarth will find a piece of themselves, or someone they know, within its intricate layers.'

6 Secrets Behind Bhumi Pednekar's 35 Kilos Weight Loss
Bollywood actress Bhumi Pednekar 's incredible weight loss journey has inspired many. The talented star, who made her debut in the 2015 film Dum Laga Ke Haisha, gained over 30 kilos for her breakout role. Later, she shed an impressive 35 kilos without extreme diets or shortcuts. So, what is the secret behind her transformation? From dietary changes to fitness routines, here are some simple yet effective tips that helped her achieve her weight loss goals. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bhumi Pednekar (@bhumipednekar) 1. Healthy Diet and Portion Control Losing weight doesn't require skipping meals and eating tiny portions. Her meal planning was centred on nourishment and balance. "Food was never the enemy," Bhumi once told Times of India that she prioritised portion control and home-cooked meals over eliminating entire food groups. She ate with awareness, incorporating lean proteins, sabzi, handmade rotis and seasonal fruits. 2. Breakfast Ritual Every morning, she started with something healthy. Fresh fruit, a small amount of porridge or toast and a handful of soaked almonds would set the tone for the day. Ditching trendy bowls or fancy smoothies, she opted for straightforward and reliable meals. By fuelling herself early, she avoided energy slumps and needless snacking later in the day. 3. Workout Routine Sticking to one type of workout often becomes monotonous. She was constantly changing things up. Bhumi's exercise regimen was unexpectedly diverse and personal. Rather than going for what appeared to be hard, she chose exercises that made her feel good, like Pilates, weight training, long walks outdoors and dance-based routines. 4. Mental Strength Despite the fact that she had to put on weight for her debut project, public affection and support kept her mentally strong. She did not consider her weight a weakness. The star took advantage of it as a springboard to regain her health at her own pace instead. The shift was driven by purpose rather than shame, which is why her emotional well-being remained unaffected. 5. Patience And Time Bhumi took her time with her weight loss journey. There was neither a crash phase nor a deadline. Every kilogram lost was the result of perseverance and preparation. The actress said that she paid more attention to how her clothes fit and how she felt on the inside than to the number on the scale. She achieved a lasting and side-effect-free transformation by slowing down. 6. Being Open About Her Feelings Bhumi Pednekar candidly shared her feelings about the struggle of early mornings, the discipline required, emotional eating and the occasional touch of self-doubt. She kept it honest and real in a field where transformations are typically glamorised. Bhumi Pednekar lost oodles of weight using these 6 secrets, so can you.

Bhumi Pednekar: I honestly think you should do whatever gives you happiness
Bhumi Pednekar Bhumi Pednekar is refreshingly candid about embracing alternate technologies to enhance her appearance. Recently, she attended the launch of a new non-invasive body contouring machine designed to target stubborn fat. 'I think every science-backed invention is absolutely great for humanity' 'I think every science-backed invention is absolutely great for humanity,' she says. 'I've been using both these technologies (thermal hot and cold treatments and EMS - Electrical Muscle Stimulation) separately. We all work out a lot, but there are days when you want that extra muscle definition—these technologies have helped me a lot. I've been EMS training for years. It's a form of workout I really enjoy, and now there's a machine that gives you that,' she told us at the launch of Artiqa at Kaya Clinic in Mumbai. 'You should do whatever gives you happiness' While some actors shy away from acknowledging their use of such methods, Bhumi believes it's a personal choice. 'I honestly think you should do whatever gives you happiness. If you're someone who believes in not experimenting and are happy in your current state of mind, then I don't think we should dictate how someone should or shouldn't change. That's the whole idea—loving yourself, having peace of mind, and body positivity. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Outdoor Clothing | Designed to Perform.

'I think my confidence comes from my resilience' Reflecting on how her own body confidence has evolved over the years, Bhumi is open about the ups and downs. 'I think my confidence comes from my resilience. It comes from the life that I have had. And there are many days when I'm extremely underconfident. At the end of the day, we're all human—and I think that's okay. I don't want to be a role model who tells younger girls that I don't have tough days. I have very tough days, but over the years I've become resilient enough to overcome them. I'm very proud of myself. It has taken a lot of effort to have abs. To have them refined on screen—I've worked so hard, and I'm very proud of myself.' The Dum Laga Ke Haisha actress feels that there's no pressure in the industry too look a certain way. Instead, she believes the film industry is becoming more inclusive and appreciative of natural beauty and unique talent. 'If there's space for us, there will be space for the newer talent as well' 'There are so many people like me, Ayushmann Khurrana, Rajkummar Rao—we've been here for a decade. We're complete outsiders who don't really fit the norm or the box or the expectations of what leading actors should be like. We proudly wear that as a badge—something we earned. We've had flourishing careers, and I think we're going to have multiple decades ahead. And I feel if there's space for us, there will be space for the newer talent to come in as well. '
