National Award and Padma Shri awardee Vidya Balan, who has proved her versatility in film after film, is happy with the kind of films and roles she has been getting and says as long as she will get good films, an Oscar is not too far from her.

The actress was present at a press meet for Indian Film Festival of Melbourne 2014 here, and when asked about winning an Oscar in the future, she said: "I have never thought of winning an Oscar. I had not even thought of winning Padma Shri some day."

"And as long as I am assured of good films, then an Oscar is also not too far away," she added.

However, the 36-year-old is content with the film opportunities she has been getting.

"I think life has been very very kind. I am just happy with all the love and appreciation coming my way," Vidya, known for her power-packed performances in the films, "Paa", "Ishqiya", "The Dirty Picture" and "Kahaani", said.

Meanwhile, Vidya is happy with the response to her latest release "Shaadi Ke Side Effects". Soon, she will be seen in another film "Bobby Jasoos".

Oscar? For movies like Ghanchakkar and SKSE? Leo must be dying a thousand deaths in shame.

Yeah wookay. With her recent films under performing and underwhelming even her loyal fans, hell will freeze over before this will happen. She's next after Kareena. Time khatam, pack karo. 😆
