At a recent event in Bengaluru, Vidya Balan entertained the audience with her comedic stories. She shared how her humorous posts on social media have gained attention and praise, even during her break from acting. Vidya expressed her love for comedy and her desire to do more comedic roles, noting the lack of such opportunities for actresses in today's cinema. She also discussed her passion for acting, emphasizing how it allows her to explore different characters and live various lives on screen. Vidya highlighted the importance of her preparation for each role, as it helps her to truly embody the character's emotions and experiences. Additionally, she touched on the societal pressure of body image and self-worth, emphasizing that one's body size should not determine their self-esteem.Body image has always been an issue for me, growing up as a larger person. However, watching "The Dirty Picture" made me realize that self-perception is not defined by body size. This realization was empowering for me. It changed not only how I view myself as an actor but also as an individual, reminding me to appreciate the body that keeps me alive. My sister, Priya, is my role model; she exudes confidence and comfort in her own skin. As women, we juggle multiple roles every day, making us naturally adept at acting. Movies draw inspiration from real-life events rather than the other way around. Society influences films, not the other way around. Cinema should not be held responsible for societal values, as it reaches only a small fraction of the population.
