Actress Vidya Balan has shared the true definition of
being an actor.
Talking about her film journey and acting in "Tumari
Sulu", Vidya said here on Friday: "I am very grateful that I have got
opportunities to play different characters in each of my films. I feel that's
the true definition of being an actor."
"I don't want to repeat myself as
an actor and till the time we have directors and writers like Suresh Triveni, I
think I am set because till now no one has imagined me in a character like this.
All filmmakers have offered me intense and serious characters, but he just
thought about me in a completely different way."
Talking about her
character and the film, Vidya said: "The way Suresh Triveni (director) has
written the film, I feel anybody can relate with it. I am glad that I am playing
a normal middle class woman in this film because I am still middle class by
heart. I have been raised in a middle class family. I am proud of it and I have
no regrets.
"This film's story is also of a middle class family and India
primarily consists of middle class families. My character in the film doesn't
judge anyone and not herself as well."
Vidya is sure that her character
will be relatable to every middle class woman who has never worked outside
before.
"She has just one thing that if I am getting an opportunity to
work, then I will work because she has't worked in life so, it's a very
connecting story in that aspect because everyone has their dreams and
aspirations.
"And when you watch a film like this where a woman who has
no past experience of becoming an RJ (Radio Jockey) achieves her goal, then
people would also think that if she can do it, why not us," said the "Parineeta"
actress.
In "Tumhari Sulu", Vidya plays Sulochana a.k.a. Sulu, who is
becomes a night radio jockey in Mumbai.
It is scheduled to release on
November 17.
