Actress
Vidya
Balan,
who
has
a
packed
2017
with
releases
like
Tumhari
Sulu,Aami
and
Begum
Jaan
says
she
loves
it
when
she
keeps
busy.
"I
love
it
when
I
am
busy,
but
I
need
time
between
business.
I
need
time
for
myself.
I
need
down
time
because
I
get
so
intensely
involved
in
what
I
do,
specially
a
film
shoot...
Then
I
need
time
to
get
back
to
being
just
Vidya
after
a
promotional
schedule
also.
I
love
it,
I
thrive
on
it," Vidya
told
IANS.
"But
to
retain
my
sanity,
I
need
to
do
things
that
are
completely
unrelated
to
work
and
then
come
back
to
working
with
full
force,"
Vidya
added.
The
39-year-old
actress,
who
was
recently
seen
in
Kahaani
2:
Durga
Rani
Singh
helmed
by
Sujoy
Ghosh,
is
gearing
up
for
her
myriad
roles
on
screen.
In
Tumhari
Sulu,
Vidya
will
be
seen
playing
a
radio
jockey
(RJ)
named
Sulochana,
fondly
known
as

In
Begum
Jaan,
a
Hindi
adaptation
of
Srijit
Mukherji's
stellar
Bengali
offering
Rajkahini,
Vidya
will
feature
as
a
brothel's
madam
in
Punjab
during
India's
partition
in
1947.
Though
actress
Rituparna
Sengupta
essayed
the
lead
role
in
the
Bengali
version,
Mukherji's
first
choice
for
the
adaptation
was
Vidya.
She
will
also
be
seen
portraying
the
life
of
writer
Kamala
Das
aka
Kamala
Surayya
onscreen
in
her
upcoming
biopic
Aami.
