There is no doubt that Vidya Balan is an actor par excellence. While she leaves no room for criticism about her acting chops, she has faced constant flak for her weight. However, her latest pictures have left her haters astonished and fans in complete awe.
Not only is Vidya seen sporting shorter hair, but the actress also seems to have lost tremendous amount of weight. A curious fan commented on one of her Instagram posts, "Did u lose weight???"
An admirer wrote, "You seem to be slimming down. Or is it ur old pic? Watever it is, i like the glow on face. (sic)" Someone also pointed out, "The first picture reminds me of you during Parineeta days."
Vidya had put on as many as 12 kilos for 'The Dirty Picture' (2011). Earlier in 2016 while talking about her health, she had told Anupama Chopra in an interview, "What happened post The Dirty Picture was I realised I had been medicating for something, and for a condition that I didn't have. That played havoc with my body. Suddenly my body changed completely."
In a recent interview Vidya revealed that she had hormonal problems since childhood which made it impossible for her to loose weight. "Do you know that my hormonal problem has made it impossible for me to lose weight for years in between? Not just that, there was a period in between when the more I’d work out, the more I’d put on? People would insinuate that you must be eating unhealthy or that you’re lazy. And these things stick with you. It would anger me no end. I kept wanting people to stop judging me. But over time, I realised that people judge you/your body only if you do."
Vidya said that it has taken a lot of time and work to accept her body. She said, "When people tell me why don’t you start exercising, I want to say f**k you! How do you know I haven’t been exercising? Do you know how hard I exercise? Do you know what challenges I’ve been facing?"
Vidya, who was last seen in 'Tumhari Sullu', hasn't announced her next project yet. However, it is reported that Vidya will star in the biopic of famous mathematician Shakuntala.
