From her riveting performances to her unwavering dedication to her craft, Vidya Balan embodies the essence of authenticity and versatility in Indian cinema.
Recently, amidst the buzz surrounding her latest film, 'Do Aur Do Pyaar,' Vidya Balan opened up about a surprising revelation from her past. The actress confessed to simulating smoking before filming certain scenes, highlighting the lengths she would go to for the sake of authenticity in her roles. However, what began as a professional necessity eventually led to a personal struggle.
Reflecting on her journey, Vidya Balan disclosed how her portrayal of characters, particularly in films like 'The Dirty Picture,' took a toll on her well-being. The immersive nature of her craft, coupled with the pressure to deliver convincing performances, led her down a path she hadn't anticipated – a battle with smoking addiction. Despite her initial reservations and societal perceptions surrounding women who smoke, Vidya found herself grappling with the habit, ultimately smoking 2-3 cigarettes a day at the peak of her addiction.
Yet, in true Vidya Balan fashion, she confronted her adversity head-on and emerged victorious. In her candid discussion, she revealed that she had successfully quit smoking, a testament to her resilience and determination to prioritize her health and well-being.

Transitioning from personal challenges to professional endeavors, Vidya Balan's return to the silver screen with 'Do Aur Do Pyaar' marked a significant moment in her career. Paired alongside talented co-stars Prateik Gandhi and Ileana D'Cruz, the film garnered attention for its promising premise and Vidya's stellar portrayal. However, despite the anticipation and early acclaim, the film failed to strike a chord with audiences, falling short of expectations at the box office.
The mixed reception to 'Do Aur Do Pyaar' underscores the unpredictable nature of the film industry and the challenges even seasoned performers like Vidya Balan face in navigating its landscape. Nevertheless, amidst the highs and lows, Vidya remains a beacon of resilience and authenticity, continuing to captivate audiences with her unmatched talent and unwavering dedication to her craft.
