Saand Ki Aankh actor Bhumi Pednekar has proved her mettle as an actor time and again. Bhumi has managed to rule the hearts with her versatility and impeccable performances. But her journey hasn't been a cake walk for her. At 18, she lost her father to cancer and since then, the Pednekar sisters along with their mother have fought it out and have emerged as warriors.

Opening up on losing her dad at 18, Bhumi shared her emotional memory.

"We were quite young. I was 18; Samiksha (Bhumi's younger sister) was probably 15 when we lost our dad due to cancer. We saw him through prolonged sickness and really suffered 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," recollected Bhumi.

She continued, "I started working, 10 times harder than I would. We both just grew up and realised that shit 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."
