The set lit up the moment Vidya Balan walked in—her signature smile radiant, her laughter unmistakable. It instantly transported me to her unforgettable roles in Tumhari Sulu, The Dirty Picture, Shakuntala Devi, and more—each echoing the same warmth her characters exuded. But as she slipped into her looks for the day, Vidya transformed. Draped in exquisite Falguni Shane Peacock gowns, she embodied the glam siren with unmatched grace. Watching her leave “Vidya” behind and step effortlessly into the vision of the shoot was not just inspiring—it was a privilege to witness a national award-winning actor at her most brilliant.
