At a time when no main league actress was bold enough to do “The Dirty Picture”, a biopic on Silk Smitha, Vidya Balan took the boldest decision of her career and did the film. She showed no apprehensions in that ‘demanding’ film and won audience, critics and a National Film Award with her performance.
In a latest interview, the very bold and unabashed Vidya Balan said that actors need to be ‘shameless’ in order to achieve what they aspire for in film industry. “It is very important for an actor to be shameless, fearless and should have no apprehensions, besides having passion” Vidya reportedly said when asked about how an actor can succeed.
She also talked about the importance of taking tough decisions, having the ability and courage to say ‘yes’ when others say ‘no’. “There’s no one way to be successful. You have to find your own path to success. And self-confidence is the biggest qualification for success in any field,” she added.
Quite a fearless woman Vidya is, both onscreen and off-screen.
