MUMBAI: Actress Vidya Balan believes that the world needs to know the stories of courageous women who fought their way through difficulties in life.
Vidya acted in films like “Paa”, “Ishqiya”, “No One Killed Jessica”, “The Dirty Picture” and “Kahaani”. These films revolved around fierce women.
“My work is an extension of my personality. In real life, I get drawn to the women who are strong, brave and overcome obstacles. I get drawn to heroic female characters as well. I think the world needs to know such stories,” Vidya told reporters.
“For me, real heroes are those who overcome fears and obstacles in life. We should applaud such people and through cinema bring out their journey on screen,” she says.
Acting is the only thing Vidya enjoys the most and she is not keen on producing or directing films.
“I am in the industry for 11 years and I have not bothered to even learn anything. I don’t know if it’s shameful or not. But I enjoy what I do and that’s acting. I don’t think I have the bandwidth to do anything else.”
The National Award-winning actress will soon be seen in a hard-hitting film “Begum Jaan”.
Releasing on April 14, “Begum Jaan” is the Hindi adaptation of National Award-winner Srijit Mukherji’s Bengali film “Rajkahini”. (AGENCIES)
