Actress
Vidya
Balan,
who
has
hardly
cared
about
her
appearance
and
the
criticism
she
has
faced
from
people
regarding
her
weight,
says
that
the
past
five
years
of
her
life
have
been
a
roller
coaster
healthwise.
"In
these
past
five
years
actually
I
went
through
some
health
issues
which
are
not
serious
but
niggling
ones.
I
have
ignored
them
for
a
very
long
time
and
the
medication
I
took
back
fired
and
it
changed
my
body
further," said
Vidya
on
CNN-News18's
show
"Virtuosity".
"I
am
someone
who
is
wholesome
but
am
also
some
one
who
exercises
very
regularly.
But
there
was
a
time
when
because
of
this,
my
body
changed
dramatically
and
I
wasn't
very
happy
about
it,"
she
added.
Vidya
says
that
the
problems
made
her
question
herself
if
she
was
happy
with
her
body
or
not.
"I
began
to
question
myself
that
am
I
comfortable
with
my
body.
So
I
think
these
past
five
years
have
been
a
roller
coaster
for
me
in
more
ways
than
one.
I
did
talk
about
celebrating
my
body,
my
sexuality
during
the
'Dirty
Picture',
not
to
make
a
point
or
anything
but
it
was
just
a
spin
off
of
the
film
because
suddenly
I
have
put
on
12
kgs
for
the
film
and
I
was
showing
it
off.
"Everyone
was
just
talking
about
the
film
and
the
fact
that
despite
the
weight,
I
was
celebrating
my
body.
I
was
looking
sexier
than
ever,
so,
people
were
asking
me
those
questions
which
is
when
I
began
to
talk
about
how
comfortable
I
am
with
my
body
which
I
am
most
certainly,"
Vidya,
who
was
last
seen
in
"Begum
Jaan"
said.
