Vidya Balan struggled with self-image after criticism

Vidya Balan revealed she didn't look in the mirror for six months after being replaced in a Tamil film. A filmmaker criticized her acting and dancing, which severely impacted her self-image. She emphasized the importance of kindness in communication. Balan, a prominent Indian actress known for films like "The Dirty Picture" and "Kahaani," faced challenges early in her career, including being labeled as bad luck. This incident taught her a valuable lesson about the power of words. Currently, Balan is in discussions for new projects, but nothing is confirmed. She noted that making women-led films has become more challenging post-pandemic, though she believes the industry will eventually embrace diverse storytelling again.
