Vidya Balan is an actress who has typically been reserved about voicing her opinions on public matters. Yet, in a previous interview, she spoke openly about the increasing religious polarisation in India, observing that people appear to be urgently seeking a sense of identity and stressing that the nation did not have a religious identity in the past.

Bollywood actors Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan are set to reunite for an upcoming untitled movie directed by Anees Bazmee, marking their collaboration after 6 years.

Vidya Balan has reportedly joined the cast of Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2, playing a strong, layered character that will bring a major turning point to the story. Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, the much-awaited sequel is expected to release around August 2026 and promises bigger action, higher stakes, and a pan-Indian appeal.

Fourteen years ago, when The Dirty Picture hit theatres, it did far more than release — it erupted onto the cinematic landscape. Milan Luthria’s unapologetically bold film shattered long-standing Bollywood norms, especially those surrounding women-led narratives, and proved that a female protagonist could carry a full-blown mass entertainer with power, charisma, and undeniable box-office pull.

Veteran actress Shabana Azmi hosted a Diwali celebration with her close friends, including Vidya Balan, Konkona Sen Sharma, and Dia Mirza. The gathering also saw Richa Chadha, Ali Fazal, Divya Dutta, and Javed Akhtar in attendance.

As Diwali approaches, actress Vidya Balan was seen embracing the festive spirit in the most heartfelt way—personally picking out marigold garlands from a street vendor. Known for her love of tradition and simplicity, the moment offered a refreshing glimpse into her grounded nature.

Veteran actress Shabana Azmi celebrated her 75th birthday with a star-studded bash attended by Bollywood heavyweights including Madhuri Dixit, Vidya Balan, Rekha, and Urmila Matondkar.

To celebrate Parineeta's 20th anniversary, PVR INOX is re-releasing a digitally restored version of the classic romantic drama.

Vidhu Vinod Chopra recalled the intense audition journey that finally brought Vidya Balan on board as Lalita in Parineeta, despite big stars eyeing the role. As the film marks 20 years, he revealed how a “girl from Chembur” went on to become its unforgettable leading lady.

Vidya Balan stunned at the screening of her film Parineeta in a red chiffon saree with a dazzling gold border. Paired with a floral-printed blouse, her styling with statement earrings and a stack of bracelets completed her Indian look.

Rekha and Vidya Balan’s tender kiss and warm embrace at the Parineeta re-release stole the spotlight, celebrating the film’s timeless legacy. Fans rejoiced as the iconic moment went viral, marking 20 years of the classic.

Vidya Balan, who is a strong advocate of body positivity, opened up about being pressured to shed weight for roles since the start of her career. The actress revealed that it took a toll on her emotional and physical health until she stopped paying heed to nasty remarks and began giving it back.

The restored version of Parineeta will be re-released for one week starting from August 29, 2025 in selected theatres. The makers have released a new trailer of the film.

Vidya Balan shared that before filming Kismat Konnection, she got a call from someone advising her to shed weight and appear younger than Shahid Kapoor.
