Bhumi Pednekkar's former acting teacher, Shruti Desai, has criticised the actress amid the NEET-UG 2026 controversy, recalling her as "disrespectful" during her student days
Actress Bhumi Pednekkar's comments on the ongoing NEET-UG 2026 protest controversy have invited fresh criticism after her former acting teacher publicly recalled what she described as the actor's "disrespectful" attitude during her student days.
Shruti Desai, a spiritual psychotherapist who says she briefly taught Bhumi Pednekkar at a Mumbai-based film school, shared a strongly-worded post on social media questioning the actress' recent views on respect and responsibility.
In her Instagram post, Desai wrote, "@bhumisatishpednekkar I remember I was, briefly, one of your teachers at a Mumbai-based film school. Unfortunately for me, I also remember how disrespectful, almost disdainful, you were about your teachers. Care to explain your new approach towards the concepts of respect and responsibility and how your world-view changed so drastically in the interim?"
