Actress Vidya Balan, who was recently seen in the film 바카라˜Jalsa바카라™ says that she has never cared to assess if a character is glamourous or not while coming on board with a film. 

In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, the actress said that her focus has always been on being part of good stories and films and does not give too much importance to how she is looking on the screen. 바카라œI don바카라™t even think about these things. Glamour is not even the reason why I joined films. I am here to tell stories and I am fortunate to get stories, which are very different from each other, each time. Stories that are raw, real and relatable fascinate me,바카라 she was quoted as saying. 

Balan made her debut with the film 바카라˜Parineeta바카라™ in 2005 and has been part of films such as 'Kahaani' (2012), 'No One Killed Jessica' (2011), 'The Dirty Picture' (2011), 바카라˜Kahaani 2: Durga Rani Singh바카라™ (2016), 바카라˜Begum Jaan바카라™ (2017), 바카라˜Natkhat바카라™ (2020), 바카라˜Sherni (2021)바카라™. Talking about how she decides to come on board with a project, the actress says that her only concern is the story. If the story relates to her, she comes on board. 바카라œWhen I am making a decision about doing a film, I only think about whether it appeals to me. That바카라™s my primary consideration,바카라 she says.

In fact, she adds that she never tries to assess what people expect from her as she understands that people want many different things and it바카라™s impossible to focus on all of that. 바카라œIt is never about what people are expecting from me because different people will have different expectations, and I won바카라™t be able to fulfil all of it,바카라 she says.

She adds, 바카라œWhen you바카라™re a confident woman who uses her voice unapologetically and unabashedly, I think it is intimidating for most people. And while I believe all of us have a voice, not all of us use it.바카라
