In a recent interview, acclaimed actor Vidya Balan candidly delved into the memory of her first romantic relationship, recalling it with a tinge of bitterness. With a tone that hinted at past pain, she revealed that her initial foray into love was marred by betrayal and heartache. Reflecting on her past, she recounted the hurtful moment when her then-boyfriend callously admitted to meeting his ex-girlfriend on Valentine’s Day, shortly after their breakup. “I have been cheated on,” Vidya confessed, “and I have to tell you, he was just an a**.”
The incident, etched vividly in her memory, left her shattered, yet resilient. Despite the emotional turmoil, Vidya emphasized her growth beyond that painful chapter, asserting, “I have done better than that in life for myself.” This resilience is perhaps echoed in her personal life today, as she shares a blissful marriage with film producer Siddharth Roy Kapur, transcending the trials of her past relationships.
While Vidya’s journey through love has had its share of tumult, her professional trajectory continues to soar. Set to grace the silver screen once again, Vidya Balan is slated to star alongside Pratik Gandhi in “Do Aur Do Pyaar,” a romantic comedy that navigates the complexities of love, infidelity, and rediscovery. The film promises a fresh perspective on relationships, as it explores the dynamics of a couple who, after falling out of love, find themselves entangled in extramarital affairs. Amidst the chaos of their clandestine liaisons, a holiday brings them back together, prompting them to confront the tangled web of deceit they’ve spun.
Beyond her upcoming project, Vidya is also poised to reprise her iconic role in the third installment of “Bhool Bhulaiyaa.” Reflecting on her initial involvement in the franchise, Vidya reminisced about her instant acceptance of the role, attributing it to her fondness for the original Malayalam film, “Manichitrathazhu.” Recalling her meeting with director Priyadarshan, she revealed her immediate enthusiasm upon being offered the part, citing it as “probably the shortest time I took to say yes to a film.”
Directed by Anees Bazmee, “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3” promises to captivate audiences once again with its blend of comedy, mystery, and psychological intrigue. Starring Kartik Aaryan and Triptii Dimri, the film follows in the footsteps of its predecessors, inviting viewers into a world of suspense and supernatural suspense.
As Vidya Balan embarks on these new cinematic ventures, she continues to captivate audiences with her versatility and depth as an actor. From navigating the complexities of love and betrayal to unraveling the mysteries of the human psyche, Vidya’s performances resonate with audiences across generations, affirming her status as one of Indian cinema’s most revered talents. And as she navigates the intricacies of reel life, Vidya’s resilience and grace serve as a testament to her enduring spirit, both on and off the screen.
