At a recent event in Bengaluru, Vidya Balan delighted audiences with her humorous stories. She mentioned how her comedic content on social media has gained popularity and even during her break, people continued to appreciate her Instagram reels. Expressing her fondness for comedy, Vidya shared that she enjoys both watching and performing comedy. She expressed her desire to take on comedic roles similar to those played by actresses like Sridevi in Mr. India, emphasizing that there is a lack of such roles for actresses in current cinema. Vidya also discussed her passion for acting, mentioning how it allows her to embody the lives of diverse women and experience their stories authentically. She reflected on the joy she finds in preparing for each character, emphasizing the importance of understanding their emotions, motivations, and vulnerabilities. Vidya also touched upon the issue of body image, highlighting the significance of self-acceptance regardless of one's body size.Body image has been a longstanding challenge for me, being a larger person since childhood. However, the film "The Dirty Picture" helped me realize that self-perception is unrelated to body size. This revelation was empowering. It not only transformed my view of myself as an actress but also as an individual; reminding me to value the body that sustains my life. My sister, Priya, serves as an inspiring role model for me. She exudes confidence and ease in her own skin, qualities I admire and confide in. In the words of Vidya Balan, "As women, we are constantly juggling multiple roles." I often believe that women may excel as actors due to their ability to seamlessly adapt to different roles, such as mother, sister, or wife, on a daily basis. This versatility allows them to draw from various aspects of their own experiences and effectively portray the characters required of them. I agree with the sentiment that movies are often influenced by real-life occurrences rather than the other way around. Films reflect the world around us, drawing inspiration from societal events and experiences. Cinema should not bear the burden of being the moral compass of society, as its reach is limited to a fraction of the population.
