Vidya Balan Recalls Feeling Pressured To Lose Weight For Roles: "I Was Training Like Crazy, Barely Eating"
Vidya Balan has always been a vocal advocate of body positivity. She is unafraid of speaking her mind, often weighing in on the beauty standards in the film industry. Recently, the 46-year-old recalled the time when she was asked to shed weight for her 2009 film Kismat Konnection. Vidya Balan, in a conversation with Filmfare, revealed, 'There was this chatter that you have to look young if you want to work with some of the actors. I remember before I did Kismat Konnection, someone called me and said Shahid is two years younger than you. And you are being cast opposite him. Therefore, you have to shed weight and make sure you look even younger than him. Till 2019, every film came with a side note of, 'Can you shed some weight?'.' The actress, who was last seen in the 2024 film Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, added that the constant negative remarks took a toll on her mental and physical health. She said, 'There was a phase where I was training like crazy, barely eating. I had chronic body pain and swelling but I kept going.' Vidya Balan added that even her trainer could not explain what was going on in her body, which later turned out to be a hormonal issue. Eventually, Vidya Balan came with a stern response to the body-shaming. She used to tell them, 'If you want someone else's body type, cast them. If you want me, take me as I am. 'Previously, Vidya Balan talked about how she turned a deaf ear to naysayers giving her weight loss 'gyan'. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the actor shared, 'I think I'm shamelessly optimistic. I've so much self-belief. I've put myself out there at my biggest and not batted an eyelid. I've had people tell me I should work on myself, that I should shed weight. But I actually believe there's nothing wrong with me." Read all about it here. Workwise, Vidya Balan is currently seen in the Marathi television series, Kamali.

Farhan Akhtar recollects Honey Irani's ‘unmotherly' act of toppling auto, slapping man who groped a woman
Actor-filmmaker Farhan Akhtar recently opened up about an incident with his mother, actor-writer Honey Irani, that he witnessed in the 1980s. On Prakhar Gupta's podcast, Farhan spoke about how watching his mother slap a man who groped a woman in public and topple his auto completely changed his 'psyche'. Here's what he said. Farhan Akhtar said his mother Honey Irani 'changed his psyche' the day she stood up to a man who groped a woman in public. Farhan Akhtar on learning from Honey Irani Farhan recollected how Honey was driving in a car in the 1980s when she witnessed a man in a rickshaw grope a woman standing on a divider. 'My mom stopped, made the lady who was crying sit in her car, followed the rickshaw, took the guy out, gave him 3-4 slaps and toppled the rickshaw. She then dropped the lady home. When she came back, she was still in that frame of mind when she was telling my aunt all about it,' he said. While Farhan thought it was 'unmotherly' of Honey to slap the man, he said he was 'blown away' by it. 'That incident, in my mind back then, was a very unmotherly thing. You don't imagine women getting into scraps on the road. I was blown away by the whole thing. It gave me an insight that if you see something like this, you have to stand up. You can't just be like, arre, how sad, and move on. It was a key turning moment in my psyche towards understanding her. And also in terms of what she represented in that moment to that woman as well. It broke the image I had of her in a great way,' said the actor. About Honey Irani Honey began her career as a child actor in films such as Chirag Kahan Roshni Kahan and Bombay Ka Chor. She debuted as a screenwriter with the 1991 Sridevi-starrer Lamhe and wrote the screenplay and story for films like Darr, Laawaaris, and Awaarapan. She also directed the 2003 ensemble film Armaan. Honey was married to Javed Akhtar from 1972-1985. They have two children, Zoya Akhtar and Farhan. Farhan was last seen in the 2021 film Toofan. He will soon star in 120 Bahadur.
