Vidya Balan isn't in any hurry to get back in front of the camera, and she's perfectly content with it. The actor spoke to THR India about taking a break from his career and if the possibility of being overlooked ever makes him feel insecure or terrified. Recently, she said, she has been taking advantage of the option of choice, choosing to spend time at home and have fun creating reels.
Vidya Balan states that she has a lot of faith in herself
"I believe I'm unapologetically optimistic. I have a strong sense of self-assurance. I've made an effort to show my best self and haven't blinked an eye. I've been advised by others to concentrate on improving myself and losing weight. However, in reality, I think I'm fine. And I believe it's a wonderful attitude because it allowed me to get through it. I don't think I've ever been burdened by those kinds of anxieties since I was still in the lead, Vidya stated.
For years, she has made it through an industry that is frequently preoccupied with looks thanks to her unwavering self-confidence. Vidya is currently experiencing a stress-free period for the first time in many years. "For the first time in my life, I am not experiencing stress. We experience a lot of stress, whether we realize it or not. I'm having a great time right now. I've chosen two films after attending meetings and reading scripts. I'm sorry, but I can't discuss it at this time," Vidya stated.
