Vidya Balan is in no hurry to return to the screen and she’s absolutely at peace with it. In a recent interview, the actor revealed that for the first time in years, she is experiencing a stress-free phase in life. Rather than worrying about visibility or professional momentum, Vidya is choosing to embrace stillness, creativity, and freedom on her own terms.
She spoke about how she has lately been enjoying life at home, reading scripts, making fun reels, and living without the constant pressure of being seen. “For the first time in my life, I am not experiencing stress. Knowingly or unknowingly, we go through a lot of stress. I am enjoying this period. I am reading scripts, meeting people, and I have decided on two films. Unfortunately, I am not able to talk about it right now,” she shared.
The actor, known for breaking stereotypes, also reflected on how her unshakable self-confidence has carried her through. “I think I am shamelessly optimistic. I have so much self-belief… I’ve had people tell me I should work on myself, that I should shed weight. But I actually believe there is nothing wrong with me,” she said.
Vidya was last seen in the box office hit Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 alongside Kartik Aaryan and Madhuri Dixit. She also earned praise for her performance in Do Aur Do Pyaar. Up next, she will be seen in Ritiesh Deshmukh’s Raja Shivaji, a historical drama releasing on 1 May.
