Bhumika Chawla Believes Reading Is Therapeutic And Books Are Irreplaceable; Shares Her Favourite Titles

Bhumika Chawla, best known for her memorable performances in films like Tere Naam, Run, and Dil Ne Jise Apna Kaha, has always been admired for her grace and calm presence both on and off screen. Her last release was Salman Khan’s Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, and she will soon be seen in Kesar alongside Arbaaz Khan and Dipshikha Nagpal.

Away from the arc lights, Bhumika finds peace in one of her oldest companions — books. A self-confessed reader, she believes that while technology has made stories more accessible, nothing can truly replace the charm of reading.

Bhumika Chawla: “Books can never be replaced — reading is therapeutic”

Talking about books and how they are irreplaceable, Bhumika Chawla said, “Books can never be replaced, though yes, people do find it easier to listen to audio versions.” She continued, “For me and many like me, reading is therapeutic — it’s a joy that can’t really be described in words. Ironically, books are words on paper, but only avid readers will understand that feeling.”

She adds that while some prefer the tactile feel of a physical book, others enjoy the convenience of a Kindle, especially when travelling. She said, “There’s a section of people who still love the feel of a proper book in hand, and some prefer Kindle since it’s easier to carry.”

For Bhumika, reading is also about cultivating focus — something that modern distractions often take away. She shared, “Reading brings in focus, while other things tend to make our concentration a little less. For instance, you can’t read a book while working, jogging, or cooking — but you can listen to an audiobook while doing those. That’s just my opinion. To each his own — whatever works for everyone is good, as long as the purpose of going through a book is served.”
