Vidya Balan didn’t look into the mirror for 6 months, know why ? | Hindi Movie News

Vidya Balan is one of the most celebrated actors of Indian cinema, she has delivered some of the biggest female led films from The Dirty Picture to Kahaani to Ishqiya and many more. She also recently delivered the biggest hit of her career with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 where she stepped into the shoes of Manjulika once again after a gap of 17 years.

But the journey for the actress hasn’t been exactly smooth, there was a time when she was considered bad luck and she was getting replaced from all her films. She opened up about an incident which taught her a very important life lesson.
During her conversation with Galatta India she shared that she had shot for a Tamil film for a few days and she was suddenly replaced. She called up the filmmaker and said she wanted to meet him and she went with her parents to Chennai. Sitting in their office he showed them the footage and casually mentioned’ kaha se heroine lage rahi hai, she doesn’t know how to act, she doesn’t know how to dance’.
Post this incident, Vidya stated that couldn’t look at herself in the mirror for six months, she felt ugly. She also mentioned that one has the right and power to replace someone in a project but always be kind with your words as words have the power to damage or nurture you. She also stated that she will never forget that that was an early lesson in life that taught her to be kind to people because he really destroyed self image for six months.
At this point Vidya is in talks with multiple filmmakers for her next project but nothing has been finalized. In fact the actress also shared in an exclusive interview with ETimes that post pandemic it has become even more difficult to make a women-led film but also added that it is cyclical and we will soon start making all kinds of films.
