Vidya Balan on getting branded as S Siren. Vidya Balan is known for her riveting performances and stunning roles. Movie lovers cannot forget her performances in award-winning films like Dirty Picture, Parineeta, Kahaani etc.
Now speaking to scribes, Vidya Balan shared her thoughts when she got labeled as sexy. She said "It happened over time. I was called sexy after I did The Dirty Picture. And the huge commercial success got me so much love. It even got me a National Award. I was being called the female hero and all that. Basically, I was not being Vidya. I was Silk. I was playing a character, and I was okay with it. I am far more comfortable being a character than being myself in public."
She added "When I am promoting the film, I have fun because I am promoting a character. The moment you make it about me, it makes me a little uncomfortable. So I had just done it without thinking. That translated to me being sexy. And I hadn’t been called sexy until then. Suddenly, there was a new me. I had also met Siddharth at that time. He made me feel great. I started accepting my body because of a combination of factors."
Vidya Balan made her Tollywood debut by starring in NTR biopic, Kathanayakudu and Mahanayakudu opposite Balakrishna under the direction of Krish.
