When
Shahid
Kapoor's
Kabir
Singh
released
in
cinema
halls
last
year,
it
raked
in
big
box
office
numbers.
At
the
same
time,
the
film
also
stirred
a
controversy
and
was
accused
of
glorifying
toxic
masculinity
and
violence
against
women.
In
fact,
some
of
the
celebrities
from
B-town
had
also
slammed
the
film.
However,
Vidya
Balan
has
a
slightly
different
opinion
to
the
entire
controversy.
Recently
while
speaking
at
a
press
event,
the
actress
openly
declared
her
support
for
the
film.
Vidya
said,
"There
was
a
huge
uproar
when
Kabir
Singh
released
and
people
questioned
how
could
the
film
glorify
a
character
as
Kabir
Singh,
who
is
absolutely
disrespectful
and
violent
towards
women.
Previously,
I
would
have
had
the
same
reaction,
but
today
I
feel
that
the
film
is
not
necessarily
glorifying
it.
It's
about
telling
the
story
of
a
Kabir
Singh
and
there
are
enough
Kabir
Singhs
in
the
world,
especially
in
our
country.
So,
I
am
okay
with
that."
The
actress
said
that
earlier,
she
would
have
reacted
differently
since
it
wasn't
in
sync
with
her
beliefs.
However,
over
the
last
couple
of
years,
she
has
"matured" and
that
she
has
a
better
understanding
of
the
characters.
The
Tumhari
Sulu
star
added,
"Sometimes
I
watch
films
even
if
they
are
not
keeping
it
to
my
beliefs.
Over
the
years,
I
have
matured
as
a
person.
Previously
it
used
be
all
black
or
white
for
me
but
today,
I
understand.
I
will
give
you
an
example
of
the
film
Kabir
Singh."
Vidya
added
that
if
she
were
given
a
choice
to
be
like
the
titular
character,
she
would
have
said
no.
However,
she
wouldn't
have
a
problem
with
watching
the
film.
Talking
about
it,
she
said,
"I
can
make
choice
not
to
be
a
Kabir
Singh.
As
a
person
that
choice
would
be
mine
but
will
I
go
to
the
theatre
and
watch
Kabir
Singh?
Of
course
I
will.
So,
I
think
I
have
kind
of
matured."
Speaking
about
work,
Vidya
Balan
will
be
next
seen
in
Anu
Menon's
Shakuntala
Devi-
The
Human
Computer.
She
recently
signed
Newton
director
Amit
Masurkar's
next
film
titled
Sherni.
