Career:

Balan was in final stages of her MA when she got her first film offer, Bhalo Theko in 2003. Its a Bengali film in which she played the role of Anandi and won Anandalok Puraskar Best Actress award in Kolkata. After a year break, her second film was Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s Parineeta, a remake of the film of same name done by Ashok Kumar. The movie is an adaptation of a novel named Parineeta, written by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay. She was a fresh face and her acting skills won her wide critical acclaim.

Later in 2006, she was choosen by Chopra for the sequel of Munna Bhai MBBS, Lage Raho Munna Bhai. Her performance as Jhanvi was yet again appreciated. Balan added freshness to the character and did justice to the role. But the film couldn’t make much business at the box office. The year 2007 was a crutial year for Vidya as she experimented with her roles to the maximum. She was seen as a Multiple Sclerosis patient in Mani Ratnam’s Guru starring Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwariya Rai. She was seen a very small role but appreciated widely for her performance.

Further she was seen in Salaam-e-Ishq, Ekalavya: The Royal Guard, Heyy Babyy and Bhool Bhuaiyyan which were considerable hit films in the industry. In 2008 she was seen in a serious political issure oriented film, Halla Bol alongside Ajay Devgn which was critically acclaimed but was a commercial failure.

Trying for an image makeover, she starred in Kismat Konnection opposite Shahid Kapur in a glamorous role which was a hit. From 2009, her Kismat turned tables and she delivered blockbuster hits one after another without a single failure. Her films Paa, Ishqiya, No One Killed Jessica, Urumi (Malayali film), The Dirty Picture and a recent rage Kahaani are marked as classics of Bollywood. Her portrayal as a ideal mother in Paa, a cunning and sensual village girl in Ishqiya, a sober and extremely down to earth sister in No one Killed Jessica, the 70s sexy icon Silk Smitha in The Dirty Picture; last but not the least a pregnant wife in Kahaani, you name it and you can write a textbook that defines what quality acting is really about.
