January 1978) is an Indian actress. She has established a successful career
in Hindi language films of Bollywood and is the recipient
of one National Film Award, five Filmfare Awards, and five Screen

acknowledged in the media for breaking stereotypes of a Hindi film heroine.
Vidya aspired to a career in film from a young age, and had
her first acting role in the 1995 sitcom Hum Paanch. She pursued a
master's degree in sociology from theUniversity of Mumbai and
simultaneously made several unsuccessful attempts to start a career in film.
She subsequently featured in various television commercials and music videos,
and in 2003 made her feature film debut as the protagonist of the independentBengali drama Bhalo
Theko. In 2005 Vidya garnered praise for her first Hindi film, the musical
drama Parineeta, and followed it with a leading role in the highly successful
2006 comedy film Lage Raho Munna Bhai. This initial success was followed
by roles in the romantic comedies Heyy Babyy (2007) and Kismat
Konnection (2008) which met with negative comments from the critics.
The year 2009, however, marked the beginning of the most
successful period in Vidya's career as she portrayed five consecutive roles to
wide critical acclaim in the 2009 drama Paa, the 2010 black comedy Ishqiya,
the 2011 semi-biographical thriller No One Killed Jessica, the 2011 biopic The

hero". In addition to acting in films, Vidya promotes humanitarian causes

Early life and background[edit]
Vidya Balan was born on 1 January 1978 in Ottapalam,[2] a
town in the Palakkad District of Kerala, to P. R. Balan,
currently the Executive Vice-President of Digicable,[3] and Saraswathy
Balan, a homemaker.[4][5] According to Vidya, they speak a mix of Tamil andMalayalam at
home; she is also well versed in Hindi, Marathi, English and Bengali.[6] Her
elder sister, Priya Balan, works in the field of advertising.[4]
Vidya grew up in the suburban neighbourhood of Chembur,
Mumbai and was schooled at St. Anthony Girls' High School.[7][8] From
a young age she aspired to a career in film and was inspired by the work of
actors Shabana Azmi and Madhuri Dixit.[9][10] At the age of
sixteen, she starred in the first season of Ekta Kapoor's sitcom Hum
Paanch as Radhika, a bespectacled teenager.[11][12] Following the
success of the show, Vidya refused director Anurag Basu's offer to star in
a television soap opera, as she wanted to concentrate on a film career.[13] Her
parents were supportive of her decision but encouraged her to complete her
education first,[9] so she attended St. Xavier's College to
pursue a bachelor's degree in sociology and later earned a master's
degree from the University of Mumbai.[14][15]
Career[edit]
Struggle and debut (2000–03)[edit]
While pursuing her master's degree, Vidya was cast as the
female lead in the Malayalam film Chakram, opposite Mohanlal and
was subsequently signed on for twelve other Malayalam language films.[9] However,
due to production difficulties, Chakram was shelved.[16]The
postponement of a film starring Mohanlal was an unheard of occurrence in
Malayalam cinema and film producers blamed her for bringing "bad
luck" to the project; labelled her as a "jinx" and replaced her
in all the films that she had been contracted for.[9] She then shifted
focus to Tamil cinema. In 2001, she was cast as the female lead in N.
Linguswamy's Run (2002). However, after completing the first shooting
schedule of the film, she was unceremoniously dropped and replaced
by Meera Jasmine.[17] She was signed up under false pretences for
a sex comedy, a genre she was then uncomfortable with, and thus decided to
leave the project.[9] Thereafter, she signed on for a third Tamil
film, Manasellam (2003), but was replaced by Trisha Krishnan as
the director was dissatisfied with her work.[18] Kalari Vikraman (2003),
a Malayalam film that she completed work for, failed to get a theatrical
release.[19]
After failing to start a film career, Vidya appeared in
approximately sixty television commercials and in music videos for Euphoria andShubha
Mudgal; a majority of these were directed by Pradeep Sarkar.[13][20] In
2003, she was signed on by Goutam Halder for his independent Bengali drama Bhalo
Theko; her first film release.[21] Her portrayal of Anandi, a young woman
reminiscing about her past, won her an Anandalok Purashkar for Best
Actress.[22]
Breakthrough (2005–08)[edit]
In 2005 Vidya made her Hindi film debut with Pradeep
Sarkar's musical drama Parineeta. Before being cast for the film, she had
to undergo extensive auditions for a period of six months.[16][23] The
film, an adaptation of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's novel of the
same name, narrated the love story of an idealist Lalita (Vidya) and an egoist
Shekhar (Saif Ali Khan), the son of a capitalist businessman.[24] Her
performance in the film was praised by critics;[12] Derek Elley from Variety wrote,
" An acting revelation is Tamil newcomer Balan, whose devoted but
dignified Lalita is the picture's heart and soul."[25] Parineeta fetched
her a Best Female Debutaward and a nomination for Best Actress at
the annual Filmfare Awards ceremony.[26] The following year,
Vidya appeared oppositeSanjay Dutt in Rajkumar Hirani's comedy
film Lage Raho Munna Bhai. She portrayed the role of Jhanvi, a radio
jockey and the love interest of the protagonist Munna Bhai. To
prepare for her role, she met with a couple of radio jockeys and watched
them at work.[27]Her
performance was critically well
