While Stree may have propelled the careers of several established actors, it also introduced new faces to the limelight. Flora Saini, who originally portrayed the titular spirit in the first film, has now been replaced by Bhumi Rajgor in Stree 2. As the sequel continues to break box office records, fans are eager to know more about the actress who has stepped into the haunting role of Stree.
Bhumi Rajgor comes from a background in Gujarati cinema and originally began her career as a makeup artist before transitioning to acting. She gained attention for her roles in films like Fakt Mahilao Maate, Satyaprem Ki Katha and Hurry Om Hurry. In a recent interview, Bhumi expressed her excitement about the surge of opportunities coming her way following the success of Stree 2. She revealed that she initially auditioned for a different role but was referred for the part of Stree, which she eagerly embraced.
While Bhumi’s career is on the rise, she remains grounded and committed to her roots in Gujarati cinema. Though she’s received offers from Punjabi films and a major reality show, she’s focusing on acting in regional films and honing her craft. Bhumi has shared her admiration for her co-stars in Stree 2, including Shraddha Kapoor, who she described as “sweet” and supportive on set. However, Bhumi mentioned one regret: not having had any scenes with veteran actor Pankaj Tripathi.
Bhumi’s portrayal of Stree has further solidified her status as a rising star. Stree 2, directed by Amar Kaushik and starring Rajkummar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor, and Pankaj Tripathi, has become a massive hit, grossing over ₹500 crore globally.
