Vidya Balan Talks About Her Love For Women-centric Films!
Vidya Balan talks about her love for women-centric movies in Bollywood, says that women are having their own identity in films and not being just as someone else's sister, mother or girlfriend.
Women-centric films such as Chak De India, Queen and Dangal have fared really well at the box office as it is something new and refreshing in Bollywood. Even Vidya Balan was part of women-centric films like The Dirty Picture and her upcoming film Begum Jaan touches the same subject.
Speaking
about
the
growth
of
women-centric
films
in
Bollywood,
Vidya
Balan
quipped,
"If
you
look
around,
girls
and
women
are
no
longer
playing
supporting
roles.
Women
are
no
longer
just
someone's
daughter,
wife
or
mother.
We
have
an
identity
and
that
is
translating
on-screen.
So,
those
kind
of
stories
are
being
written.
I
was
at
the
right
place,
at
the
right
time.
I
took
the
opportunities
when
they
came
my
way."
When asked how she feels when people credit her for doing women-centric films, she said, "I am glad that I am credited for it. However, it is just the function of the time we are living in. We are ready to tell these kinds (women-centric) of stories."
Vidya further commented, "I get drawn to scripts where the woman has a very substantial role. And therefore, women-centric films appeal to me. By that I don't mean that I have to play the central role. My character has to be such where, if she doesn't achieve anything in the beginning of the film, she ends up doing that at the end. Those kind of stories inspire me in real life as well."
