From Bollywood To South Cinema
Tere Naam, released in 2003, remains one of Salman Khan's most iconic films. It was a major box office hit, and Bhumika Chawla's portrayal of Nirjara, won widespread praise. The film also marked her Bollywood debut, and her on-screen pairing with Salman was well-received by audiences.
She later appeared alongside Salman again in Dil Ne Jise Apna Kaha, but gradually shifted her focus to South Indian cinema. In the South, she has been a part of several successful films including Khushi, Okkadu, Simhadri, Jai Chiranjeeva, Middle Class Abbayi, and Badri. More recently, she appeared in Brother with Ravi Mohan, which received a mixed response, and in Euphoria, directed by Gunasekhar.
