During a recent event in Bengaluru, Vidya Balan entertained the audience with her humorous stories that had them laughing. She shared how her comedic posts on social media have garnered attention and appreciation, even during a year-long break. Expressing her love for comedy, Vidya mentioned the scarcity of comic roles for actresses in current cinema, unlike the past when iconic figures like Sridevi in "Mr. India" portrayed such characters. She professed her eagerness to take on a comedy film if given the opportunity.

In a conversation snippet from the event, Vidya discussed her passion for acting, describing how it enables her to immerse herself in various female personas, each with a unique narrative and background. She highlighted her fascination with exploring diverse individuals and credited her acting career for allowing her to experience their different lives authentically for the duration of a movie.

Furthermore, Vidya expressed her enthusiasm for the distinctive preparation process she undergoes for each character she portrays. Emphasizing the importance of shedding her own identity to embody the essence of the role, she delved into the motivations, emotions, vulnerabilities, and complexities of the characters she brings to life on screen.

Addressing body image concerns, Vidya emphasized that self-worth is not determined by body size, emphasizing the universal struggle of feeling inadequate and the importance of self-acceptance and self-love.I struggled with body image growing up as a larger girl, but watching The Dirty Picture showed me that self-worth isn't tied to body size. This realization was empowering, changing not just how I viewed myself as an actor, but also as an individual. I learned to appreciate my body as the vessel that keeps me alive. My sister, Priya, is my role model, exuding confidence and comfort in her own skin. As women, we are always juggling multiple roles, which I believe makes us great actors. Movies draw inspiration from real life, rather than shaping society. Cinema isn't society's moral compass, but a reflection of the diverse human experience.
