Bhumi, in an interaction with Bollywood Hungama said, “When I did Lust Stories, I was nervous. It was a ‘full throttle’ orgasm but at that time, for me intimacy coordinator, we didn’t have that. But Zoya, with the sensitivity with which she took me and Neil through it, because as she said, it is not about ‘you are a girl, and you should feel comfortable when a male co-star needs to”. She further added, “But I was nervous because this is the most naked, I can be in the room full of people. I barely had any clothes on, and we have protection and technically done but still, between Neil and I, we had to sit down and say that these are our boundaries. Just that conversation between your director, you and your co-actor was so important because you are in a moment and it’s no different”.

Bhumi received critical acclaim for her role in Badhaai Do (2022) co-starring Rajkummar role, where she portrays a lesbian character.
