After that her one more film released in this year(2004), Run opposite Abhishek Bachchan.Bhumika has been inevitably flooded with offers from both in Tamil and Telugu industry. Yet, contrary to the general grain, she has not jumped at them. Instead, she has decided to take things one at a time. 'I don't like to clutter my plate,' she says matter- of- factly. Her conviction is so deep-seated that she has refused a film with Manirathnam.Bhumika can afford to have such a laid back outlook because she does not see acting as a profession or a means to an end. For her, it is an interesting medium for communicating. She is into acting because she loves it. Critics saw in her performances, in Khushi and Tamil Badri and Rojakootam, a spark and spontaneity that even seasoned artistes find difficult to achieve. 'She is an absolute natural. Combine this with her beautiful looks, you have an actress who is bound to go places,' says a film critic.She said her ambition is to win a National Award for Best Actress after winning the hearts of audiences, with the support and appreciation of colleagues of Cinema field.
