Vidya Balan known as powerhouse of talent is also someone who voices her opinions on issues like body positivity and pay disparity in Bollywood. Actress, who believes in calling spade a spade recently opened up on how initially, pressure to always look flawless, especially at airport, used to overwhelm her.

She in an interaction with journalist Faye D’souza opened up on ‘airport looks’ and said, “Initially we were all very conscious, thinking about what to wear. I don’t wear makeup when I am not shooting or have events to attend. So initially it did bother me. I would literally pray that photographers are not there. I would duck into my car so that they don’t spot me. I was quite fugitive but then I was like this is who I am. I think it also comes with age and experience and acceptance.

Business of cinema. It is men who have brought people to theatres. However, with success of more women-led films, we will make more money. Because, if you look at ratio, it’s same, however, budget of women-led films is much smaller.”–Agencies
