Who is Bhumi Rajgor?

In the Stree sequel, actor Bhumi Rajgor bagged the role. She replaced Flora Saini, who was seen as Stree in the 2018 film. Bhumi is known for Fakt Mahilao Maate (2022), Satyaprem Ki Katha and Hurry Om Hurry (2023). The Ahmedabad-based actor is a former makeup artist, as per Times of India. She told the portal that she has been offered a "big reality show", but she isn't keen on doing it.

Bhumi spoke about Stree 2 audition

Speaking to the portal, she continued, "Initially, I had auditioned for another role in Stree 2. But they loved my audition and when I was offered the titular role, I went blank. To be sure, they asked me to scream at the top of my voice. It was the funniest audition of my life! However, the makers told me, 'Since you will be playing a ghost, aap ki shakal nahi dikhegi (your face wouldn't be visible)'."

She also added, "My family was apprehensive because they said nobody would know that I was in the film. But I did not want to let go of the opportunity to work with such terrific co-actors, who are so grounded. I learnt a lot by watching them and Shraddha (Kapoor) was really sweet to me. My only regret is that I did not have any scenes with Pankaj (Tripathi) sir."
