She
enjoys
every
bit
of
stardom
that
she
has
achieved
but
Vidya
Balan
says
acting
is
still
a
"job" at
the
end
of
the
day
for
her
and
she
cannot
let
it
dominate
her
personal
life.
The
National
Award-winning
actor
says
she
is
a
private
person
and
does
not
want
her
popularity
to
disturb
her
or
her
familys
personal
space.
In
an
interview
with
PTI,
Vidya
says,
"I
have
seen
great
stardom.
I
enjoy
the
perks
that
come
with
stardom.
But,
finally
at
the
end
of
the
day
acting
is
a
job,
which
I
try
and
do
in
the
best
way
possible.''
"I
am
a
private
person
when
it
comes
to
people
in
my
life.
Siddharth
(Roy
Kapur,
husband),
he
is
not
an
actor.
I
will
not
talk
about
him
the
way
I
will
talk
about
myself.
I
need
to
respect
his
right
to
privacy.
Similarly,
my
family,
they
are
not
actors,
they
have
not
put
themselves
out
in
the
public."
The
actor,
who
made
her
Bollywood
debut
with
Parineeta
in
2005
and
post
the
success
of
the
film
signed
back-to-back
projects,
says
she
decided
to
slow
down
as
she
realised
it
was
important
to
have
a
life
beyond
movies.
"I
like
taking
time.
It
has
been
nine
years...
First
two
years
I
was
doing
crazy
amount
of
work,
but
2008
onwards
things
started
changing.
I
realised
I
must
only
do
things
that
I
am
fully
convinced
about
and
more
than
that
I
want
to
live
my
life.
"I
dont
want
to
live
only
for
films.
I
have
life
beyond
them.
I
dont
like
stepping
out
much.
I
like
to
be
in
my
space
when
I
am
not
shooting.
I
dont
feel
it
is
necessary
also
to
make
public
appearances.
I
still
dont
go
out
on
Sunday...
Living
life
off
the
camera
is
very
important
for
me
as
I
use
those
experiences
to
portray
my
characters."
Vidya
had
a
tough
time
in
scoring
her
Bollywood
breakthrough
and
the
actor
says
the
struggle
still
continues.
She,
however,
feels
the
course
of
struggle
has
changed
as
it
is
more
about
dealing
with
the
public
nature
of
her
successes
and
failures.
"Struggle
is
a
part
of
life.
Initially
the
struggle
was,
may
be
I
will
never
be
an
actor
or
I
will
die
a
frustrated
actor.
But
today
the
struggles
are
very
public.
"Anything
I
do
goes
public.
Now
I
have
this
pressure.
Now
my
hits
and
flops
are
public.
But
still
the
struggle
now
is
far
better
than
what
it
was
initially.
At
least,
I
am
living
my
dream.
I
have
matured
with
the
experience."
Vidya
will
next
be
seen
in
Suresh
Trivenis
Tumhari
Sulu.
Also
featuring
Manav
Kaul
and
Neha
Dhupia,
the
movie
will
hit
the
theatres
on
November
17.
