Vidya Balan has cemented herself as one of the versatile actresses in the Hindi film industry. Time and again, the gorgeous and graceful lady has wowed audiences with the way she perfectly embodies her characters, from ‘Reshma’ in The Dirty Picture to ‘Begum Jaan’ in Begum Jaan. Along with her acting mettle, Vidya often leaves audiences stunned with her clear and straightforward manner of voicing her opinions. However, a resurfaced interview clip is now rubbing netizens the wrong way, as they accuse Vidya of subtly victim-blaming with her remarks.
Vidya Balan claims she has never been asked out in a sleazy way because of her strong boundaries in a resurfaced clip
Recently, a resurfaced clip of Vidya Balan having a candid chat with senior actor, Anupam Kher on his eponymous show, The Anupam Kher Show, was posted on Reddit. In it, the actress asserted that people’s behaviour towards you depended on your boundaries. Expressing her pride in never having been asked out in a ‘sleazy manner’ even for a coffee, Vidya stated:
“People will treat you the way you want to be treated. Toh mene humesha apne around I think ek boundary banaye rakhi thi, and I say this with a great amount of pride that no one has even asked me for a coffee in a sleazy manner in all these years.”
