LMAO. 🤣 I stil say Vidya is extremely talented but she got lucky. Kahaani 2 is a crucial test for her. If it fails then i doubt anyone would give her more chances. She is not from a specific camp or has a famous last name so the chances being doled out to her are limited. For Sonam's sake i hope Kahaani 2 doesn't work because this is Sonam's last chance to get an award and Vidya has had her share and it wouldn't matter much for her if she doesn't get another award.


sonam and vidya in same sentence..fighting for best actress award ..oh leme digest that..the super talented and the talentless together in one sentence..

sonam needs not to worry about how good or bad vidya's kahani 2 fares..irrespective she does not deserve to win..there are several other acclaimed performances in hit movies like anushka (ADHM) and alia (Dear Zindagi) who rather get one if VB doesn't..and i am glad she doesn't have a chance anymore..an average performance in fact the weakest in a well made movie being made into some award winning one..

I Love love love Vidya. Best thing about Vidya is she is real af. she doesn't pretend to be anything. Vidya is very articulate when it comes to speaking. I really want Kahaani 2 works for her. We may disagree but Vidya and Kangana are one of the most talented actors we have right now. I am a BIG actor Kangana fan(BTW I am a huge DP fan her off screen personality may not be pleasant to many but we cannot deny the fact that she is best at her work.
This year more than Sonam/Alia I am rooting for Vidya/Taapsee .
Taapsee said on Filmfare interview that Kangana messaged them to tell how much she loved pink and their performances.

Love her and love her interviews! I have a strong feel that Kahaani2 will bring her back in the game. She is a phenomenal actress and I'm waiting for her to take Bollywood by storm once more 👏

Perhaps I'm being naive in thinking that she's being completely honest, but if so, I really like the candor with which she speaks. As someone who has struggled with minor weight issues related to heath problems, I could relate to everything she said. I always love it when celebrities talk about such real issues (like DP and her depression) and do so with maturity. It means a lot to see someone so successful struggle with everyday things as well. Gives hope imo.

Also, I'm glad she feels rejuvenated again. I enjoy her acting but I was kinda disappointed with her movie choices. Looking forward to Kahaani 2 and her bouncing back!

It indeed needs boldness to accept one's vulnerability (like weight issues) so honestly in public. Kudos to Vidya for that.

True, Vidya is not an item song material. But does that imply, she should always do hatke movies without a male lead? Cart cannot pull itself too long with just one wheel, however strong it is. SRK managed in Chak De. But could not, in Fan.

Somehow Indian movie industry has come to a stage, where figure of female lead is the most important aspect of a commercial film. Not a good movie script.

I think even today (with the same figure), Vidya and Sharukh can pull a movie with a good script. Middle aged couple, mid life crisis, matured romance and reconciliation. Obviously, it won't have the same audience of TZH. But it will have its own set of audience for sure.

What kind of times do we live in ? If Madhubala was trying to act in BW today, she won't find a place in BW.
Vidya's struggle with weight is not because she is lazy. Treatments for conceiving often lead to weight gain as side effect.
It's a sin that we are ignoring a talent like Vidya.
Where do you find intelligent and talented woman like VB?

@Bold - This I would love to watch. Shahrukh really needs to start working with other actresses as well.

@Bold No. Nobody's gonna disagree! I don't know about others but both of them are the best actresses we've today in Hindi Cinema Industry! Love both Vidya & Kangana ❤️ Both of them have given the biggest hits on their own with no biggies! They're real AF off-screen as well unlike some certain fake "Queens' of Bollywood 😳 They've had to do so much struggle to reach here & Respect them for carving a niche for themselves in an industry which used to be male dominated 😛 Vidya's almost up there in the league of Shabana, Smita & Tabu! Kangana too surely gonna join their league 🥳
