Co-incidentally I've become face of change: Vidya

The writer has posted comments on this articleIANS | Feb 23, 2012, 04.42PM IST

Vidya Balan, whose film count includes mostly female-oriented themes, says the film industry changed over the years and co-incidentally she has become the face of this change.

"I believe that change doesn't happen overnight, it takes time. I am lucky that today when we are feeling the change, it's a co-incidence that I have become a face of this change," she said in an interview.

Vidya gave strong performances in "Ishqiya", "Paa", "No One Killed Jessica" and " The Dirty Picture". The 33-year-old, who will be seen next in Sujoy Ghosh's "Kahaani", feels lucky to be present at a time when such stories are being written.

"I am lucky to be a part of Indian cinema at a time when such stories and roles are being written and I am getting a chance to be a part of such good films. I try to do my work honestly. It feels great to get so much love from the people," said Vidya who had stormed the industry with her very first film "Parineeta" in 2005.

Releasing March 9, "Kahaani" is a thriller and shows a pregnant woman's struggle to find her missing husband in Kolkata.

DAMN STRAIGHT! Enough of the constant upholding anything that looks like a scrawny pre-pubescent boy/girl.
Nothing wrong with a life that doesn't end at 20 in an anorexia ward 👏👏👏

It'll have to change as the audience's awareness levels change. If they want to follow the money change is inevitable. Just wait til the backlash against the whole "white girl it's YOUR world" crap comes home to roost.
We're in the age of the internet & social media now.
Little brown girls who never heard one single voice speak up for them can go online and see a world where ugly blatant insults about skin color are loathed and stood up to.
Women my age and women who are built like Adele don't have to just sit and take unthinking, mean spirited put downs because we can only see the world that ends at the edge of our village.
As people learn that they don't have to just "accept" off hand insults about something for which they are as blameless as their state of being/hereditary coloring/length of time on earth before DYING---when they learn that these things DON'T EVEN DESERVE to be insulted!!!
They'll spit on the industry as it stands, realize that dreams are for EVERYONE and that they don't have to buy into the dreams of some fat, late, middle aged guy with a fetish for underaged white chicks.
So as with smoking on film, and the automatic mockery of gay people which is starting to be questioned things'll change.
Once the $$money$$ stops rolling in----believe it---the industry WILL change.
