Vidya Balan says she has no plans to join politics and will stick to her acting career.
National award-winning actress Vidya Balan, who is on a mini break
from her hectic career, says she has no plans to join politics and will
stick to her acting career.
“I don’t have a political bent of mind except that I will cast my
vote like a responsible citizen of India,” Balan told reporters during
the launch of Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) here yesterday.
She said she was honoured to be the brand ambassador of the festival
third time with the 2014 being the special one as the festival will be
inaugurated by Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan on May 1 here.
Balan is on her two-day trip to Australia and would be returning back
tonight to receive Padma Shree award on Monday in New Delhi.
Expressing her gratitude for all the awards and appreciations she has
received in the past, Balan said, “As long as I get exciting parts to
play, work with good filmmakers and team, I think that is what I am
hoping for… Everything else follows. I have never pursued or worked
towards an award but good work is always what one hopes for,” Balan
said.
The 36-year-old actress also quashed her pregnancy rumours disclosing
that she was taking a short break to get back to her acting career.
“I have been working with back to back shooting and film release for
the last five years. I am taking a break for two months before I start
promoting my next film ‘Bobby Jasoos’
which will release in June or July and would need lot of work,” she said.
