Vidya Balan
Vidya Balan (pronounced ; born 1 January 1979) is an Indian actress. Known for pioneering a change in the portrayal of women in Hindi cinema with her roles in female-led films, she is the recipient of several awards, including a National Film Award and seven Filmfare Awards. She was awarded the Padma Shri by the Government of India in 2014.Vidya aspired to a career in film from a young age and had her first acting role in the 1995 sitcom ''Hum Paanch''. While pursuing a master's degree in sociology from the University of Mumbai, she made several unsuccessful attempts to start a career in film, and featured in television commercials and music videos. She made her film debut by starring in the Bengali film ''Bhalo Theko'' (2003) and received praise for her first Hindi film, the drama ''Parineeta'' (2005). This was followed by commercial successes in ''Lage Raho Munna Bhai'' (2006) and ''Bhool Bhulaiyaa'' (2007), but her subsequent roles failed to propel her career forward.
Vidya established herself by starring as headstrong women in five consecutive commercial successes, which also earned her critical and awards recognition. These were in the drama ''Paa'' (2009), the black comedy ''Ishqiya'' (2010), the thrillers ''No One Killed Jessica'' (2011) and ''Kahaani'' (2012), and the biopic ''The Dirty Picture'' (2011). The last of these won her the National Film Award for Best Actress. Following a downturn, Vidya made a career comeback by playing cheerful women balancing work and family life in ''Tumhari Sulu'' (2017) and ''Mission Mangal'' (2019). The latter emerged as her highest-grossing release. Vidya has since starred in the Amazon Prime Video films ''Shakuntala Devi'' (2020), ''Sherni'' (2021), and ''Jalsa'' (2022).
Vidya also promotes humanitarian causes and supports the empowerment of women. She is a member of the Indian Central Board of Film Certification and has hosted a radio show. Early in her career, she drew criticism for her fluctuating weight and dress sense, but was later credited in the media for her unconventionality. Vidya is married to the film producer Siddharth Roy Kapur. Provided by Wikipedia
