Bollywood actress Vidya Balan made her debut in the entertainment industry with the television serial, ‘Hum Paanch’. Her outstanding acting skills and fearless demeanour have won our hearts over the years.
Vidya Balan, who was recently in the headlines for her drastic weight loss and spoke about her journey and how she dealt with
body shamers
, once talked about the double standards of society.
During a conversation with The Quint, Vidya Balan talked candidly about how she deals with
society’s double standards
on a daily basis. She disclosed that her househelps don’t bother to interrupt her when her husband, Siddharth, is on call, but they don’t mind doing so when she is in the same circumstance.
Talking about the same, she shared, “Siddharth and I were on the call at the same time. They don’t mind interrupting me but they mind interrupting Siddharth because I just think that they feel the man is working and the woman is not, doesn’t matter what I do. Somewhere I think at home, they feel it is okay now, we can ask the wife.”
In an old interview with the
Film Companion
, Vidya Balan explained why she doesn’t collaborate with her husband, Siddharth Roy Kapur. The actress noted that both she and her husband have achieved success through their own hard work, and she wants to ensure that her accomplishments aren’t overshadowed by the perception that she benefited from his influence.
Vidya had shared, “I also think that I don’t want anyone to reduce my achievements to saying this happened for you because of your husband because one has worked very hard to get here and as much as I love him, I don’t want that to happen for either of us. It’s very reductive in a lot of ways. People say na aapka toh production house hai na and I say mere pati ka hai, mera nahi hai, fark hai. They don’t understand it.”
On the work front, Vidya Balan is gearing up for the release of her upcoming much-anticipated film ‘
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3
’. The film also stars Kartik Aaryan, Triptii Dimri and Madhuri Dixit.
