With an unwavering commitment to her craft, discipline and dedication,
the incredibly talented actor Vidya Balan stands as a true embodiment of
strength and beauty, serving as a source of inspiration for women everywhere.
Femina presents the remarkable journey of this extraordinary woman who truly
lives on her own terms, in a Cover Story that delves deep into her life and
philosophy of living.
Sharing her views about choosing a film, Vidya says, “As far as I can
help it, I don’t want to be in a situation where I don’t feel like going on
set, which is why I take my time to decide what I want to do. Though it’s an
instinctive decision, I still take time with it. That is human. That is life.
It’s what keeps me a little nervous when I go out every day to do my work, not
taking a thing for granted.”
Talking about her experience of discussing a role/character with the
director of the film, Vidya adds, “Directors feel (the discussion) will happen
during the reading of the script, but that’s not it. They wonder what questions
I will ask. I do not want to intellectualise any of it, I want to feel it.
After all, I am going to live that person’s vision, so I need to achieve a
comfort level in this game of trust. I love working with directors who give me
that time.”
Sharing about her fangirl moment, Vidya reveals, “I have always been in
awe of Mr Bachchan. I grew up being an Amitabh Bachchan fan. My mother says
that she would pray that Saara Zamaana was aired on Chitrahar and Chhayageet
because, if it didn’t, I wasn’t going to eat. When he was in the hospital after
an injury on set, I wanted to go and see him. At the time I did not know what
had actually happened. Every day I would get ready to go, and my mother would
trick me every day with a new excuse about why it was not possible.”
She also delves into her perspective on her directors’ creative vision,
her own aspirations, upcoming projects, and a plethora of engaging insights. Grab
