Bollywood actress Vidya Balan is a person who openly talks about the misfortunes she has to face in her personal life and in the film industry. They often win applause for their pro-feminist stances. Now Vidya Balan is talking about the bad experience she faced from a director.

Vidya replied to the question whether she had ever faced a casting couch during her film career by describing this bad experience. Vidya tells about a director who invited her to his room and the formula she used to escape from it.

‘I have not faced the casting couch. But I’ve heard horror stories about this before. That was the fear of my parents. This is the reason parents tell you to quit acting. But I have not faced any such dire situation. But had a bad experience. It can only be described as unfortunate.

I was in Chennai for the shooting of an ad film. In the meantime I met the director of a film who promised to do it. We met at a coffee shop to talk about the film. But he insisted on going to his room and talking. But I didn’t understand. I was alone. But I did one thing wisely. After reaching the room I opened the door fully. With that he realized that the only way out was for him.’ Vidya says in an interview to Humans of Bombay. The actor added that he was also out of the film.

Vidya was last seen in ‘Jalsa’ opposite Shefali Shah. Nee and Lovers are the upcoming projects.

“No matter what anyone says, I will say what I think is right, anywhere. The confidence to face anything is what makes me who I am. Although he is a doctor by profession, his passion is towards acting and modeling. When it comes to life and experiences, Shinu has a tongue in cheek. Women are not meant to be confined to four walls, they are meant to go out into the world. You have to see, hear and experience everything to move forward with life. After marriage, most women live for others, keeping their dreams and desires inside. Shinu’s side is that the time has come to demolish that era. Not the views of the four walls.

A woman must travel to the illusions of the world. It is up to us to polish our inner desires. All women should be able to find their passions and give wings to their dreams.

Shinu talks to Manorama Online about his life experiences and travels.

To women on Women’s Day

International Women’s Day celebration is a part of women empowerment. This day is very important. Changes are not just for one day. All women should be able to find at least one hour for ourselves, giving priority to our interests. Each of us should be able to take a step forward without standing where we are

Today there are very few areas where women do not cross, and women’s safety is still a barrier. That should be resolved. Also public spaces should be made women friendly.

Always be independent in life

When we are able to face any obstacle alone, we truly begin to live. We should find out our tastes and set aside at least one hour for those tastes. First you have to live with freedom. The first freedom is the freedom of the mind. It will add a new dimension to the journey. That positive vibe can be achieved through solo travel.

Traveling changed my life. Every opportunity that falls is changed for travel. Meet new people, understand their lifestyle and learn the culture of the country. Everything you need to overcome fear and gain the courage to overcome anything can be acquired through travel. We should try to know the world and not just the knowledge confined in the textbook. Women should travel alone at least once.

Today is the day to start

Whatever should be accepted from the tradition should be accepted in the heart and what should be changed should be changed.

To achieve the rest in life you have to achieve. As the years go by, looking back, it seems that there is no perfection anywhere in life.

Do not leave the earth leaving behind desires. Women have many things to do, they should be able to go out into the society, listen to the sorrows of others, women are not confined to the family, they should do what they can for the world, what experiences they can gain through travel will really change their lives, the important thing is that we should find time for all this. Only then will life be meaningful.

Those who love travel say that all travel is an adventure, but for some, travel is a heap of experiences. The journey leads to an idea of renewing life. Travel is the best medicine to turn negative thoughts in life into positive ones. Travels that make the mind free will make life colorful. Infuses positive energy in mind and body. We are not talking about shouldering debts and tripping abroad thinking that we have to travel, there are many places in our country. Many mind blowing places

Swam with the shark

An unforgettable trip was to the Maldives which can be described as heaven on earth. It was the first trip abroad alone. It was a trip to Maldives where I enjoyed everything from green beach, oyster sighting, snorkeling and surfing. It was a four day trip. It was a journey that gave me a lot of happiness. Saw the dolphin. I was able to swim with the shark. Those were fun days.

What attracted me was the cleanliness of its beaches and the people of those days. The beaches are so clean that there is not a single unnecessary paper to be seen. I thought that this should be the case in our country too. They take care that the beauty of nature is not harmed.

Tourism is the main source of income in the Maldives. Therefore, their behavior towards guests is also impressive. It can be said that I was really beaten up for four days after being immersed in the beauty of the Maldives. Eau Island is a place I would love to go to if I get another chance.

The glory of old

He has also traveled a lot within India. I like Rajasthan the most. Rajasthan, the land of the Rajputs, is a land that beautifies forts and palaces. Sand dunes, mountains, lakes and jungles await in this land steeped in the history of the valiant Rajput kings.

The skyscrapers and palaces that evoke the grandeur of the past are the face of the beauty of Rajasthan.

The interior views of the palaces of Annadu, where royal strategies and war stories sleep, will fascinate anyone. I liked Rajasthan a lot. The taste of its mutton dishes cannot be forgotten.

Favorite place in Kerala

You should go to Nelliambat when the rains have subsided but it is absolutely cold. Every aspect of it is very beautiful. The path itself is brilliant. Nelliampathi, also known as Mini Ooty, has a beauty that attracts anyone with its foggy and cold weather. You can hear the sound of wild birds chirping at the foothills. Nelliampathi is a tourist destination that can be visited throughout the year.

This hill station is located at an altitude of 1,600 meters above sea level. 10 hairpin turns to get here. During these winding journeys, one can enjoy breathtaking views of the Pothundi Dam as well as glimpses of nearby wildlife.

Journeys never end

I believe that age is not a factor in wish fulfillment. There is so much to see and experience on this earth. My desire is to enjoy all that in life even if it takes time. No matter how old you are, if you have the same desires, you can overcome any difficulties and move towards your goal. Switzerland and New York are also on my bucketlist to see.

React strongly against bad experiences

There should be a strong response against the increasing violence against women in the society. Before, all the girls would be patient and silent. Today all that has changed. No one reacts when the limits of tolerance are crossed. I have had a lot of bad experiences while traveling. The experience of traveling by train is what matters now. Once I took a train from Shornur to Bengaluru alone. Salem is near. A man was leaning on my berth. At first I didn’t mind, then he touched my leg. I immediately responded. Suddenly he moved away.

No matter how brave you are, anyone can feel fear when traveling alone. I always think. How safe would women travel if there were cameras in the train?

Profession and Passion

I am not one to leave my profession to pursue my passion. I felt a desire to act, and that desire was fulfilled.

I have a very supportive staff. A lot of people were mentally exhausted when they got into modeling and film. Tried to push back. The society used to say that he is not a doctor. There too, I took my rights. If we are successful in life, we should understand that society is like that, and those who have accused this crime will stay with us. We must always live as ourselves.
