She came from TV and made a big successful career for herself so why will she have negativity towards the industry? Everyone has their own personal experience. What's the point in harassing her because she's not full of hate?

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."



I stopped taking anything said after this line seriously. 


Vidya wouldn't be saying this a few years back when she wasn't married to Siddharth Roy Kapoor and her brother-in-law, Aditya Lazy Roy Kapoor wasn't purely surviving and getting films because of being a product of nepotism and NOT MERIT. It's laughable when you speak of hard work and meritocity being superior when you are related to ARK now.

Wasn't she bullied for her weight gain by this "fair" industry?


Not just her weight. Her dressing sense, dating Shahid Kapoor, being a product of TV, being dropped from 11 films and being called 'manhoos'. She spoke about her struggles back in the day. But Alas, being married to an influential industry insider made her change her tunes.

She's being super tone deaf and ignorant. Bollywood is not a fair place.

She doesn't have to agree with your opinion. That doesn't make her tone deaf and ignorant. Nor does it make her open for harassment. 

The industry has given her a lot and she appreciates that. Everyone has struggles - she did too but obviously she doesn't want to dwell on that or focus on negativity.

Her and Shahid were rumoured to be dating during Kismat Konnection, shortly after his breakup with Kareena. She was under alot of fire at that time.


And yeah, she mentioned how she was dropped from 11 films over night and almost fell into depression. Was termed as 'manhoos by many in the industry who were skeptical to work with her. She had to give multiple auditions just to land her role in Parineeta.She spoke on these before multiple times. But I guess now, she is secure which is great but changed her stance.
