Vidya in 2023

Vidya Balan is an Indian actress known for her work in Hindi films. She made her acting debut in 1995 with the sitcom Hum Paanch , following which she made several unsuccessful attempts at a film career. [1] Vidya then appeared in music videos for Euphoria, Pankaj Udhas, and Shubha Mudgal [2] [3] all directed by Pradeep Sarkar. She had her first film release with a leading role in Goutam Halder's Bengali film Bhalo Theko (2003). [4] In 2005, she played the heroine in Sarkar's Parineeta , an adaptation of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's novel of the same name. [5] Vidya won the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut for the film. [6] Rajkumar Hirani's Lage Raho Munna Bhai (2006), a successful comedy sequel, saw her play a radio jockey opposite Sanjay Dutt. [7] [8]

Vidya had five releases in 2007. She played a variety of roles in them, including a woman suffering from multiple sclerosis in Mani Ratnam's semi-biographical drama Guru , [9] a single mother in the comedy Heyy Babyy , [10] and a dissociative identity disorder patient in the psychological thriller Bhool Bhulaiyaa . [11] [12] All three films were commercially successful and established her as a leading lady. [13] The following year, she starred opposite Ajay Devgan in the drama Halla Bol (2008) and Shahid Kapoor in the romantic comedy Kismat Konnection (2008), but both failed to find a wide audience. [14]

From 2009 to 2012, Vidya starred in five consecutive films that garnered her critical and commercial success. [15] She played the mother of a child afflicted with progeria [16] in the drama Paa (2009), a seductive widow in the black comedy Ishqiya (2010), and the real-life character of Sabrina Lal in the semi-biographical thriller No One Killed Jessica (2011). [17] [18] For portraying the actress Silk in the biopic The Dirty Picture , Vidya won the National Film Award for Best Actress. [19] [20] She next played a pregnant woman seeking revenge in Kahaani (2012), a thriller directed by Sujoy Ghosh. [21] She was awarded the Filmfare Award for Best Actress for her roles in Paa, The Dirty Picture, and Kahaani, and the Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actress for Ishqiya. [22] [23] [24]

Vidya failed to replicate this success with her next few releases, although her performance in the thriller Kahaani 2: Durga Rani Singh (2016) was praised. [25] [26] This changed in 2017 when she played a radio jockey in Tumhari Sulu , for which she won another Best Actress Award at Filmfare. [27] [28] Her highest-grossing release came with the drama Mission Mangal (2019). [29] She has since starred in the Amazon Prime Video streaming films Shakuntala Devi (2020), Sherni (2021), and Jalsa (2022). [30] She won another Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actress for playing an Indian Forest Service officer in Sherni. [31]
