Vidya
Balan
has
double
reasons
to
say
cheers
today.
Besides
ringing
in
New
Year
2021,
the
actress
also
celebrates
her
birthday
on
January
1.
However,
this
time,
the
actress
won't
be
having
any
grand
celebration
Instead,
Vidya
plans
to
spend
some
quality
time
with
her
family
members.
While
speaking
with
Hindustan
Times,
the
actress
revealed
her
birthday
plans
and
was
quoted
as
saying,
"This
year
obviously
we
won't
have
a
party,
it'll
just
be
family
because
no
one
feels
safe
stepping
out
and
then
curfew
and
limited
number
of
people,
all
of
that
is
there."
The
actress
further
talked
about
her
wish
for
this
year,
and
said
that
she
hopes
2021
is
going
to
be
kinder
and
gentler
to
everyone.
The
tabloid
quoted
Vidya
as
saying,
"It's
going
to
be
a
different
start
to
the
year
but
I
think
there's
great
hope,
that
the
year
is
going
to
be
kinder
and
I
feel
that's
what
we're
hoping
for.
Every
time
I
hear
people
say
that
'Oh
my
god
how
much
more
this
world
will
take
from
us',
I
think
that
my
sentiment
is
not
that.
I
know
what
people
mean
when
they
say
that
because
it
has
been
a
tough
one.
But
I
really
feel
that
for
me,
a
new
year
will
be
gentler
and
kinder
on
us."
She
further
continued,
"Normally
they
say
lull
before
the
storm
but
I
hope
that
2021
is
going
to
be
the
lull
after
the
storm.
It's
all
going
to
be
sunshine
and
happiness
again."
Vidya
also
opened
up
about
her
biggest
takeway
from
the
year
2020
and
said,
"Who
knows
what's
going
to
happen
tomorrow,
that's
what
the
pandemic
made
us
realise
that
we
must
live
in
today.
There
has
been
a
recalibration
of
life
in
general.
Facets
of
our
lives
have
changed.
We're
all
trying
to
go
back
to
what
used
to
be
normal
to
us
but
we
are
still
not
there,
the
pandemic
is
still
very
much
a
reality."
Vidya
Balan
was
last
seen
in
the
OTT
release
Shakuntala
Devi.
The
actress
shot
for
her
upcoming
film
Sherni
amid
the
pandemic.
Talking
about
the
same,
Vidya
told
Hindustan
Times,
"We
were
trying
to
do
all
that
we
could
to
normalise
the
situation.
I
don't
think
we
can
do
that.
I
shot
for
Sherni.
I
started
the
film
before
the
pandemic,
finished
it
when
things
opened
up
and
I'm
very
proud
to
say
that
we
didn't
have
a
single
Covid
case.
That
wasn't
easy,
to
follow
so
many
protocols
while
working.
That's
why
I
say
resilience.
Ab
kaam
ho
raha
hai
toh
hum
kaam
karenge,
whatever
it
takes,
mask
peheke
kaam
karenge."
