Vidya Balan, who recently graced UNFILTERED by Samdish, shared her experiences as an outsider in the Bollywood industry. Despite delivering numerous stellar performances throughout her career, Balan faced challenges due to her lack of family connections within the film world. One of the most notable incidents occurred during the 2008 Filmfare Awards, where she was given the Na-Real Award for her costumes in the movie Heyy Babyy. Balan expressed her disappointment and hurt over this mocking award, stating that she felt alone and bullied. She believes that the industry’s treatment of outsiders needs to improve, as true support and protection should not be based on one’s family background.
