Vidya Balan on facing trolling: ‘Remember making headlines for the wrong reasons’
Actress Vidya Balan has talked about facing trolling and said that it felt ‘extremely severe’. In an interview, she answered an inquiry on whether she felt like a ‘pioneer in that respect’. She said that she was heartbroken, low on confidence, and devastated.
In an interview with Times Of India, Vidya spoke about trolling, “It still felt extremely severe. I remember making headlines for all the wrong reasons. And I used to be heartbroken and devastated. I used to be so low on confidence. I didn’t know how to hold my hand. When I was going to appearances, I didn’t know where to hold my hands by my side, or hold them or keep them on the waist. I was always so scared of what I would get picked on for.”
When questioned why it didn’t show on camera, she said, “Because I trust the camera more than anything else. I think the camera is my safe space. Which is why, when I’m facing the camera, nothing else matters…I’m happy being in front of the camera, my closest confidant.
