Vidya
who
is
a
film
and
theatre
actor,
as
a
student,
acted,
directed
and
wrote
scripts
for
the
stage
and
the
street
in
Players,
KM
College
University
of
Delhi.
She
also
acted
in
more
than
300
shows
of
Zangoora
-
India's
First
Bollywood
Musical.
She
is
breaking
all
the
stereotypes
with
her
roles.
The
success
of
her
Netflix
original
movie
Soni,
written
by
Ayr
and
Kislay,
rightly
proves
it.
She
won
the
Critics
choice
film
award
for
her
role
as
a
police
officer
in
Soni,
who
deals
with
the
crimes
against
women
in
the
city.
The
actor
did
various
workshops
on
her
relationship
with
the
co-actor
and
her
posture.
As
a
part
of
one
of
those
workshops,
she
picked
Puma
as
a
reference
for
her
body
language.
"The
incessant
alertness
that
the
animal
possesses
at
the
back
of
its
head,
helped
me
in
shaping
my
character
to
look
stiff
and
poised
as
well
as
ready
to
pounce,
" says
the
actor.
Geetika
says,
“When
I
was
21-22
I
was
told
if
you
want
to
become
an
actress
go
to
Bombay
now,
beyond
25
you
will
be
too
old,
if
you
want
to
get
married
do
it
now
beyond
25
you
will
be
too
old,
am
glad
I
had
the
wisdom
to
be
content
in
my
thought
that
I
am
not
meant
to
entertain
those
who
want
to
see
females
only
below
25
as
their
heroines
in
real
life
and
on
reel.
With
this
award
in
my
hand
I
want
to
wish
resilience
for
directors
and
actors
combating
stereotypes.”
Geetika
received
a
standing

for
her
phenomenal
performance
at
the
