Vidya Balan has portrayed a variety of roles since her big debut in 2005. She single handedly changed the way women in the industry started picking their characters and movies. She is one leading lady who has never shied away from doing something different – who has been proud of how perfectly imperfect she is. And that’s one of the reasons we respect her!
Here’s a look at the best of Vidya Balan roles:
Parineeta:
The actress debuted with Parineeta in 2005. Her portrayal of Lolita instantly got a smile on everyone’s face. It was very difficult for everyone to believe that Parineeta was Vidya’s first film and with her amazing acting skills, in no time she proved her mettle as an actor.
The Dirty Picture:
How can anyone forget this movie! It was the turning point of Vidya Balan’s career. She portrayed the character of Silk Smita and was honoured with the National Award for best actress. A lot of people commented on how she needed to change her body structure to be a leading star and this movie was one royal middle finger to them.
Kahaani:
Her character Vidya Bagchi will go down in history as one of the most iconic roles played by any female actor. Vidya’s rendition of a strong woman who is determined to find her husband made chills run through our spine. Her talent once again took over everything and made us watch the film over & over again.
Paa:
To the uninitiated, it takes a lot of guts for an actress in her 30’s to play a mother to the one and only Big B. Vidya broke all stigma around actresses and went all out to play Amitabh Bachchan’s mother in Paa. Her portrayal of a strong and independent single mother gave out a message to all the women out there that they are strong enough to do anything in life.
No One Killed Jessica:
Vidya Balan’s portrayal of Sabrina Lal left the audiences numb. Her acting skills once again proved that she’s one hell of a talented woman. Balan’s portrayal of shy older sister who metamorhps into a fierce woman who’s demanding justice for her dead sister is worth a round of applause.
