CAREER:
Vidya Balan, then Vidya Iyer, was signed to appear in the Malayalam film “Chakram”, which was shelved. She was then signed in Tamil by Lingusamy for his Run, but for reasons undisclosed, she was dropped after a first schedule and replaced by Meera Jasmine. In the jinx driven industry Vidya was dropped from her second Tamil movie “Manasellam” opposite to Srikanth, on the grounds of ‘non-performance’ and replaced by Trisha Krishnan.
She then turned to television advertising. From 1998 onwards, she appeared in numerous television ads, many of which were directed by Pradeep Sarkar. She also took supporting roles in music videos, appearing with singers and bands such as Euphoria, Shubha Mudgal, and Pankaj Udhas, and acted in Hindi soap operas like Hum Paanch. She portrayed the role of Radhika Mathur in few episodes of season 1 of “Hum Paanch” (sitcom) which was first aired in 1995. Since she is obviously older than 13 in these episodes, her repeated claims to have been born in 1982 is believed to be false.

In 2005, she finally made her appearance on the big screen, in two movies. She appeared in a Bengali film, “Bhalo Theko”, for which she won the Best Actress Anand Lok Puraskar award in Kolkata. Also in 2005, Balan made her Hindi film debut in “Parineeta”. The film was very successful at the box office.
After the success of Parineeta the same producer who dropped Vidya Balan from Manasellam saying that she was not emoting properly & non photogenic, was after her to sign her opposite to none other than Kamal Hassan for Dasavatharam. But Vidya Balan rejected the offer and Asin Thottumkal was signed instead.
In 2006 she appeared opposite Sanjay Dutt in the film “Lage Raho Munna Bhai”. The movie was a major hit within India and was ranked #1 on the box office for eight weeks after its release. Telugu Superstar Chiranjeevi who is enacting the remake of Lage Raho Munnabhai desperately wanted to sign Vidya Balan and the producer even offered her a remuneration of Rs. 1 crore, but Vidya Balan was not tempted to return South again.

Vidya was recently seen in a supporting role in Mani Ratnam’s Guru; she played a woman with a physical disability and she played a woman with amnesia in the multi-starrer “Salaam-e-Ishq: A Tribute To Love”. Her latest release is “Eklavya: The Royal Guard” which got mixed reviews.
Vidya’s next release will be Priyadarshan’s version of malayalam hit “Manichitrathazhu” that roughly translates to “magic lock”. The movie is about the mysteries of superstitions, supernatural power and split personality. Vidya essays the role immortalised by Shobana, who had bagged the Best Actress Award in 1990. Priyadarshan worked in the second unit of the original as a tribute to his master Fazil. Priyadarshan thought that Vidya Balan is a good dancer as she was a Palakkad Brahmin. He was shocked to discover that the actress has two left feet. But Vidya took it as a challenge and supposed to have practised hard for the crucial dance sequence in the climax where the Ganga transforms into the dancer Nagavalli by personality disorder.

PERSONAL LIFE:
Her father, P. R. Balan, is the Vice President of ETC Channel and her mother is a housewife.
In a video interview, Vidya has stated that she is “extremely spiritual”, has a “firm faith in God” and visits temples everyday .
Gossip columnists linked Vidya with one of her co-stars, John Abraham. She strongly denied the allegations, saying that the rumors were “vile”.

VIDYA BALAN PERSONAL QUOTES:
“Neither of my first two Malayalam films got completed, and I walked out of the third, a Tamil film, because I was not comfortable. I was replaced in another Tamil film with the excuse that I could not act. They made me feel ugly to the point where I was scared to look in the mirror. In retrospect I thank God, and by God’s grace today the going is good.”
“I have enjoyed the success my work has brought me. Some might say I haven’t really struggled to be successful. I think it is my perspective that is utopian. My state of mind is positive and peaceful. And I dare to dream”

“Our city has been ravaged by the monsoon. There’s mayhem and disorder every where. Lives have been lost and property destroyed.”
“My attitude towards the tragedy has been mixed – on the one hand, I have utmost faith. On the other hand, I question the powers above. Property is replaceable, life is not. Why have innocents died? I have asked myself this question again and again. It’s when a tragedy of this scale that has no apparent reason occurs that I wonder how I can continue to look at the brighter side of life… The answer eludes me.”
“I am extremely spiritual. Spirituality, for me, is unmoving faith in the force above. Though I have firm faith in God, I refuse to follow meaningless rituals. And I am certainly not superstitious. I believe there is one supreme power, a governing force that rules the world. I derive my strength from that force. It could be a manifestation of the sun or the moon. I call it God.”

“Even in times of adversity, I believe everything that happens, happens for the best. I am a die-hard optimist. People say this bent of mind is fatalistic but I don’t think so. There’s a light at the end of every tunnel. Every moment I think God is around me, there’s never any reason to fear. I have never slotted things as good and bad – they are always good and not so-good. I believe we should make the most of what we have.”
“I have enjoyed the success my work has brought me. Some might say I haven’t really struggled to be successful. I think it is my perspective that is utopian. My state of mind is positive and peaceful. And I dare to dream.”

“I must say Mumbai is a relatively safe city for women. They can and they do deal with hooliganisn when they have to be. For years I was train commuter in Mumbai. And I was a victim of eve-teasing a lot many times. There have been instances when I’ve slapped men and screamed at them for staring or misbehaving.I was warned against retaliation. But I think if male aggression isn’t nipped in the bud, they finally gather the courage to get worse in their behaviour. Societal fear is so large that women keep quiet when they’re subjected to indecent behaviour. Not me. When I commuted by train I’d pull up men for staring at me. As a woman you instinctively know a man’s intention by the way he shakes your hand.”
“Neither of my first two Malayalam films got completed, and I walked out of the third, a Tamil film, because I was not comfortable. I was replaced in another Tamil film with the excuse that I could not act. They made me feel ugly to the point where I was scared to look in the mirror. In retrospect I thank God, and by God’s grace today the going is good.”
