Her training didn't stop there, as she continued theatre after school and college and learned the nuances of acting through her experience in professional theater in Delhi, particularly with Akshara theatre. "I believe that kathak and theatre have laid a strong foundation for me as a performer, " she said.

When Bhoomika decided to move to Mumbai to pursue her acting career, she was determined to give her all to the craft. Understanding the importance of learning from the best, she has trained under the guidance of institutes such as The AdiShakti Laboratory for Theatre Arts and Research, The Artist Collective by Atul Mongia & The Lee Strasberg Theatre and film institute.  Atul Mongia,  trained Bollywood actors like Anushka Sharma, Alia Bhatt, and Ranveer Singh.

The whole process of surrendering to a teacher and committing oneself to the study of an art that you truly love is extremely fulfilling. I have learnt immensely from all my teachers, about the craft and more so about myself. It's a lifelong process of self discovery and acceptance and that's what makes it all the more exciting " Said Bhoomika.

For voice training, there is Shankhnaad and classical music and I have gotten back to kathak again which helps with grace, expressions, bhaav, etc. And for acting, I practice scene work with The Artist Collective by Atul Mongia sir, scene work is a very wholesome ecosystem where I get to apply all that I've learned, make mistakes, get honest feedback, and evolve, I love it! "

She also says, "I feel it is very important for an actor to train themselves very well before presenting themselves on screen," she emphasizes.
