Vidya Balan Gets Candid On Marriage, Infidelity And More

The face could inspire a million murals. Her textured voice, well, she’s said to make love with it. Her curves, they say, is Khajuraho gone live. While her laughter... a celebration of the self. Among the cosmetically monitored girls, she’s all woman, all sensuousness. Even the box-office, the monopolised bastion of her male peers, couldn’t but thaw to her compelling onscreen power. But while fame and flashbulbs pursued her, Vidya Balan’s pursuit lay elsewhere. In the endeavour to retain her true identity. In the courage to express herself – no matter how uncomfortable the emotion. In being able to realise that self-worth is an internal ballgame and not about external expectations. That success is not final. Nor failure fatal. And in this journey within, her marriage to Siddharth Roy Kapur has been a defining arc. His Zen-like presence helped her befriend herself, her fears, her imagined flaws. So much so that within the bond of marriage, she has come to carve her own space. She gives the equation a new dimension saying, “They say marriage is about ‘Do jism ek jaan.’ I’d say it’s about do jism and do jaan... who want to be together. You don’t have to lose yourself in the other person, rather it’s about finding yourself.” And found she has... the real person and riveting persona that is Vidya Balan.

From Parineeta in 2005 till Kahaani 2: Durga Rani Singh... how has life changed?
