Vidya
Balan
is
one
of
the
few
actresses
in
Bollywood
who
has
never
shied
away
from
talking
about
the
issues
which
she
has
faced
on
numerous
occasions.
Be
it
about
facing
criticism
for
her
weight
in
the
past
or
dealing
with
trolls,
the
actress
has
been
always
been
vocal
and
shared
her
thoughts
on
the
same.
Recently
in
a
chat
with
a
leading
tabloid,
the
Shakuntala
Devi
actress
opened
up
on
facing
gender
bias
and
recalled
a
dinner
table
incident
where
she
was
told
she
should
know
how
to
cook
even
if
her
producer-husband
Siddharth
Roy
Kapur
doesn't.
As
per
a
report
in
Hindustan
Times,
the
actress
told
the
daily
that
whenever
she
faces
gender
bias,
she
gets
angry
and
makes
sure
to
give
them
a
piece
of
her
mind.
"I
think
all
of
us
have
faced
gender
bias
and
not
just
by
the
members
of
the
opposite
sex.
Even
I
think
we
all
tend
to
judge
each
other,
box
each
other
as
human
beings
and
it's
a
little
sharper
for
women
or
with
women.
Of
course,
I
have
faced
gender
bias.
I
get
angry...
I
get
angry
and
then
I
just
give
them
a
piece
of
my
mind.
It
happens
much
less
now,
but
still,"
Vidya
was
quoted
as
saying.
The
Kahaani
star
further
recalled
a
dinner
table
incident
and
added,
"I
remember
people
telling
me
over
a
dinner
that
Oh
my
god,
you
don't
know
how
to
cook.
I
said,
'No
both
Sidharth
and
I
don't
know
how
to
cook'.
They
said,
'But
you
should
know
how
to
cook
na...I
wanted
to
say
(enacting
a
hitting
scene)
why
should
it
be
any
different
for
Sidharth
and
me?"
Vidya
also
recounted
how
her
mother
would
ask
her
to
learn
cooking
and
she
would
reply
that
she
will
earn
enough
to
hire
a
cook
or
marry
a
man
who
can
cook.
