In an exclusive conversation with Filmfare's Editor-in-Chief Jitesh Pillai, Vidya Balan talked about early success, industry pressure, and the strength it took to stay true to herself. Vidya Balan's journey in films started with a dream debut. She recalled how Parineeta changed everything overnight. She said, "As someone with no industry background, I was incredibly lucky to debut like that. Very few get that kind of launch." She added, "Hrithik in Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai is the only other one who comes to mind." Success indeed came quickly for Vidya Balan.
