At a recent event in Bengaluru, Vidya Balan had the audience laughing with her funny stories. She mentioned how her comedic content on social media has gained popularity, even during her one-year break. Vidya expressed her love for comedy, recalling past female comedic roles in cinema and expressing a desire to take on such roles. However, she noted a lack of comedic opportunities for actresses nowadays.

During the event, Vidya shared insights on her passion for acting, stating that it allows her to inhabit diverse female characters and explore various life stories. She revealed her deep curiosity about people, highlighting how acting brings excitement by embodying different personas authentically.

Vidya emphasized her enjoyment of preparing for diverse roles, emphasizing the process of immersing herself in the character's emotions, motivations, and vulnerabilities. She found this exploration of unique human experiences fulfilling and enriching.

Discussing body image, Vidya emphasized the importance of self-acceptance regardless of body size. She touched on the common struggle of feeling inadequate and emphasized the need to embrace oneself with positivity and self-love.Body image was always a concern for me, having been a larger girl since childhood. However, watching The Dirty Picture helped me realize that self-esteem isn't tied to body size. This newfound perspective not only changed how I viewed myself as an actor but also as an individual, appreciating the body that sustains me. My sister, Priya, serves as my role model, embodying confidence and self-acceptance. As women, we constantly juggle various roles, making us skilled at portraying diverse characters on screen. Movies draw inspiration from real life rather than the other way around, as films reflect society's realities. Despite cinema's reputation as a moral compass, the majority of society's viewership remains limited, with only a small percentage consuming blockbuster films.
