At a recent event in Bengaluru, Vidya Balan entertained the audience with her funny stories, mentioning her popularity for comedic content on social media. She expressed her love for comedy and discussed the lack of comedic roles for actresses in current cinema. Additionally, Vidya shared her passion for acting, highlighting how it allows her to explore the lives of diverse women. She emphasized her enjoyment of preparing for each character she portrays and conveyed a message of self-acceptance regardless of body size.Body image has always been a struggle for me as I grew up feeling like a heavyset girl. However, watching The Dirty Picture showed me that one's body size doesn't define self-worth. This realization was empowering, changing not only my perception as an actress but also as an individual. It made me appreciate my body as the vessel that keeps me alive. My sister, Priya, is my ultimate role model -- confident, comfortable in her own skin, and someone I can always confide in. Women constantly juggle multiple roles in their lives, which can make them great actors. Films often draw inspiration from real-life events, contradicting the belief that movies influence society more than society influences movies. Cinema should not be held responsible for being the moral compass of society, as it only reaches a small fraction of the population.
