Vidya Balan: I believe Bollywood is a fair place

The debate on nepotism and power play within the industry is of course playing out across social media platforms and national television.

"I believe Bollywood is a fair place," Vidya continues. "It is a place where meritocracy reigns supreme. If you work hard, the sky is your limit and the world is your oyster."

A lot of catchphrases for sure, but she utters it with utter conviction.

Balan agrees that the industry is currently going through a turmoil which is upsetting to watch, and points out that it tends to draw eyeballs because it is in the public domain.

Vidya admits she herself has been through all kinds of experiences in the years it took to establish herself. "I've floundered," she confesses. "I have made mistakes; it has taken me longer to reach my destination, but I'm someone who likes to view my life as half full or rather full!"

Much like the characters she chooses to portray on screen, the actress is pragmatic about life.

"The industry is what you make of it. Ups and downs and rejection and failure are all part of the game of life," she continues.

"The truth of life is," she goes on, "that there are no rules. I truly believe that."

That's the only logical fair she can mean🤣

Rehn do didi....itni bhi hazam nai hoti

I like vidya as an actress and as a person but disappointed with her response. She has changed as a person.

Such blatant ignorance... people need to get a chance to showcase their talent and hardwork to begin with.

Her struggle was different from people who have to go hungry or live in crammed space with 10 other folks while trying to get a chance to audition .

🤣

I wish though...

She's no longer an outsider.

Sister-in-law to a nepo star.

Wife of a wealthy producer.

She could have chosen to stay silent. But nope.

I do respect her acting abilities still. But lost all respect as a person. 👎🏼

I know..such level of ignorance.. I mean how can you even come up with a narrative like this. .. Talent and hardwork needs a platform? Are all talented actors in India in BW? Is she sure about that..
