Vidya Balan: Heroine who was once considered bad luck!
Vidya Balan is an
easy-looking attractive face, confident, strong acting! She made her
Bollywood debut with 'Parineeta' and changed the image of the lead actress in
Bollywood. She started the trend of women oriented films with films like
'Dirty Picture' which were considered bold of that time but ahead of
time. Till then films were marketed in the name of Nuts and the role of
the lead actress was just to look good and play the role of the lead actor's
girlfriend. That is, an attractive face that looks easy, smooth
confidence, good acting! She made her Bollywood debut with 'Parineeta' and
changed the image of the lead actress in Bollywood. She started the trend
of women oriented films with films like 'Dirty Picture' which were considered
bold of that time but ahead of time.
After 'Dirty Picture', he acted in quality mainstream Bollywood films like Kahani, Ishqiya, Paa, No One Killed Jessica. In 2014, she was awarded 'Padam Shri' for her contribution to the film industry. Today Vidya Balan is considered as one of the leading heroines in Bollywood but do you know? She was considered unlucky or bad luck for projects early in her career.
At the age of 16,
Vidya Balan was going to act in a serial but the project was stopped in
time. Then Ekta Kapoor's 'Balaji Telefilms' auditioned her for a role in
'Hum Paanch', in which she was selected. The show did well for the next
few years. After the show closed, Vidya focused on her college. She
told her mother that she should complete her primary education and get a
regular job. While in college, she was getting offers for advertising and
her mother thought that if she did it, she would get rid of the ghost of
acting, and in doing so, she did 91 projects. But on the contrary, by that
time, Vidya was completely absorbed by acting.
When she went to
Bangalore for a shoot, she was asked to audition for a film with Malayalam
cinema superstar Mohanlal, Vidya was very excited by the offer of a film with
her favorite actor. She auditioned and got selected, and after the first
schedule of the film went through, the producer and Mohanlal clashed egos and
the shoot of the film was halted.
During this shoot,
Vidya had signed 16 films one after the other. Before this film, the
producer and Mohanlal had given 8 consecutive hits and now Vidya was new in
this equation. So the producers decided that Vidya Balan was the cause of
this clash and that she brought bad luck to the film and the news spread
throughout the Malayalam industry, leaving her with 16 films. Everyone
dropped her from films citing some reason or the other.
After all these
incidents, Vidya started focusing on Tamil films. She was first cast in
'Run', the same film that was remade in Bollywood starring Abhishek Bachchan
and Bhumika Chawla. She also shot its first schedule but the makers fired
her without giving any reason and Meera Jasmine was roped in. In the year
2002, she was selected for the film 'Bala' but in that too she was dropped and
Meera Jasmine was chosen.

Later in 2003 she got
the movie 'Manaselam Kalari Vikram' which was shot properly but it was never
released. With all these failures one after the other, her elder sister
would try to keep her spirits high by telling her stories like how Amitabh
Bachchan tasted success after his first 11 films flopped or Tabu had to wait 6
years for his first film. But the hunger within the actor never let her
down and she kept trying. The first success of her efforts came with the
lead role in the Bengali film Balo Theko directed by Gautam Haldar. It was
well shot and released and was liked by the audience and critics and after
seeing her work in that film Pradeep Sarkar chose her for the lead role in
'Parineeta' in 2005 but producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra wanted a famous actress for
that role and Pradeep The government was adamant about Vidya so Vidya had to go
through 40 screen tests for 6 months. The film Parineeta became a hit and
after seeing her work in Vidhu Vinod Chopra's Yani Lage Raho Munnabhai the film
also became a hit and after that Vidhu never looked back
