Vidya is a much MUCH better radio host than Kareena. She is in tune with society, has gone through real problems and has a nice positive vibe to her. Who agrees?
abhay mathur yess and even though her show talks about very relevant problems and BIG BIG applause to her for that- patriarchy, workplace environment, divorce.... she does not seem like the best person to be representing these issues, considering her mediocre filmography ( mostly masala and urban romantic comedies) and her offscreen persona.
@@A_free_n1 I agree with you that she is not the best person to talk about these issues. But not because of the type of films she has done. But because she herself has never experienced any of those problems. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Undoubtedly, she is very talented; but she has always been super-rich and she has always received a lot of respect and love from everyone. So, it kinda seems weird when a privileged girl like her give life advice on issues like 'male oppression' , and 'stereotypical beauty standards' coz I'm sure she has never been oppressed by any male, and she is obviously beautiful as per the 'stereotypical beauty standards'
Yeah right. Vidya did amazing movies like begum Jan, shadi k side effects, kismat connection amazing movie. No wonder kareena has so many films lined up n still relevant
Vidya is the only one from Bollywood I can be friends with . Such a happy, optimistic cool chick. Not to forget she made it easy for women .Trailblazer. Lots of love to Vidya, Big inspiration you are .
Fashion happened before the Dirty Picture and was actually the case study for the movie Dirty Picture as confessed by Sidharth Roy Kapoor..So I think Priyanka Chopra with Fashion and choices like 7 khoon before her should also be credited
@@MrPuspakdasgupta It's not about which film did what business.Its about the choices one makes.Fashion was a Diwali blockbuster which inspired Ekta Kapoor to make a woman centric film and they brought Sidharth Roy Kapoor on board who gave them the business model of Fashion.If this was solely about busness ,then Kangana's films did bigger business..and so did Priyanka's Mary Kom and now Alia's Raazi...pioneers are not decided by what business they brought.All I'm saying while Vidya is credited all along,PC has hardly ever been credited as an actor or a star..Even Alia and Kangana have received their acclaim but sadly not her..She has always been ignored by the Indian industry..It was only when she crossed over to Hollywood,a few of them were forced to praise her because they're all smitten by the west..However she has truly never been credited for doing pioneering work..She has been more consistent with her choices as compared to Vidya or Kangana
@@dreamerachiever2718 Pc in Barfi is better than Vidya and Kangana's roles so far .Jhilmil is my all-time favourite. Fashion was not a blockbuster, It was a average grosser, Google it .
It takes a great mind/woman to praise and uplift other women. Absolutely LOVED her enthusiasm when talking about Neena Gupta in Badhai Ho and Sheefali Shah in Delhi Crime! What a woman Vidya Balan is!
Unpopular opinion: Vidya would have been a better choice for Jayalalitha biopic. And kangana would have been seamless as Indira Gandhi! Anyways..both the ladies are terrific actors..so i dont have any objection❤
Her husband bought the rights to a book on Indira Gandhi.. Unfortunately there's no one wanting to make a movie on Indira Gandhi.. But maybe when Kangana's old there will be a writer who will write on the mature Indira Gandhi and producers will cast her..
I respect Vidya Balan even more after the 'Cobrapost' sting operation ( this includes Raza Murad ji , Arshad Warsi, Soumya Tandon ) ....Wish every body in your field had integrity worthy of a honesty .....as someone rightly said " No legacy is rich as honesty " . You have a glittering smile Vidya Ji 🙂.
She is probably the only female actor in Hindi Film Industry who keeps praising the other actors, films- She always appreciates the real artists. We need more Vidyas in our Industry.
Vidya Balan personifies grace, intelligence, wit and honesty. Her films like TDP n Kahaani made the way for women oriented stories. She debuted in Hindi films with Parineeta which revolved majorly around her and she was brilliant in that too. Kudos to her! 🤩🙌
I have observed that actresses who don't come from a filmy background are so open about appreciating other actresses....vidya in this interview and I've even seen Tapsee do it very often...these women are so inspirational and simply class apart...
Actually not all, look at kangana she is behaving like she is only outsider in the industry who has made a big name in Bollywood and throwing shade at other actresses.
@@praveenhoro8198 You're crazy. Kangana has appreciated many actresses. There's a whole Twitter thread on how appreciative she is of fellow women. She cannot be compared to these outsider actresses as she was not having support of her family and has run from the family. Her story is different.. Don't be irrational and make statements without knowing the truth..
@@sagarthorat9175 how do you know the truth? You were there with kangana when she was going through with all those struggles as she speaks? No, neither you nor I was there to witness her 'so called struggles'. And you are talking about tweets or some thread, where did you find that because kangana is not on any social media platforms so, who posted that? Have you ever try to find out answers for these? Don't believe in anyone so blindly that you forget what is right or wrong.
😍 Man oh man, she's so inspirational and just so unapologetically amazing. Beautiful, talented, and doing good work by being the part of panels which are supporting talented filmmakers in the country. What more could people ask for?
Only 2 actresses from Bollywood I adore and admire is vidhya and susmitha! Both are soo talented and so down to earth.Soo good to listen to you Vidhya👍
I know there are very few people like Vidya Balan, and most of us who appreciate and admire her wouldn't be very fond of an actor like Sonam Kapoor. I happened to watch a TapeCast episode featuring Sonam Kapoor and the complete contrast in their personalities is so apparent as I watch this interview. On one hand there is Sonam, claiming to be so 'secure' that she doesn't ever feel that she should have done some amazing film she saw, and here is Vidya, genuinely secure and truly a cinema lover who can appreciate other actors and roles and films without thinking twice. So much respect for her ❤
She is so lively so bubbly.. so much talent..!! Thanks for this iv Rajeev.. it’s good to sit down with stars n talk abt other stuff rather than talking to them during promotions
Ms. Ranawat needs to learn how not to allow success get to your head, sweep you off the ground and overestimate yourself from this lady. She is equally, if not more, talented than Kangana with no godfather in the industry. But what humility and grace!! I have never heard her badmouth anyone from the film fraternity. This is what you call, class!
As a #KangnaRanaut fan, I agree! In fact I find Vidya more talented as her speech is clear & Kangna gets difficulty there. Vidya got bullied a lot for her fashion sense and how amazingly she has handled it. Upbringing matters. Dignity & grace matters. Unfortunately #Kangna lacks those things 😑
Everyone has their own personality depending on how ones brought up. Vidya is more secured in terms of family. Kangana is not so for her it's just survival b.c she can't go back to where she came from. For majority people who don't depend on anyone or have a security net will have different mentality. They need to survive and can't fathom other people especially who are given everything on a platter. Everyone's mentality is different. In the west there are lot of people like kangana in entertainment industry. Naomi Campbell, Nicki Minaj for instance in modeling and music industry. Even the older generation actress like Bette Davis, Joan Crawford and Lucille Ball were not the ideal colleagues to work with, they were feuds and made sure no one messed with them. It's a cutthroat business and different people handle their career and position in the industry in their own way.
Vidhya is such a Goddess! She is gorgeous, genuine, humorous, talented, hardworking and ethical. She would make such a great leader - be it business or home, politics or entertainment, art or academics! Would love to see more of her❤
I have always love the twinkling in her eyes.. there's this mischief in her eyes and i love it so much. So much spark! And zindaadili ! ❣❤ Big fan! Also i would like to see Vidya do a Gone with the wind sort of character.. like an Indian version sorts. I think she'll kill it!
I can’t believe that I have met Her cousin Sairaj in London!! He showed me her pics with his family etc. And her Grandma Rukhmini who passed away around 7, 8 months ago. 😥. Love you Vidya Balan from London
Such a simple & inspiring woman! She talks just like any of us & yet each second I felt 'shes so cool! Effortless! Being an outsider, facing all troubles to get her project release, facing extreme criticism, she sounds so light to me. No burden, no bitterness, no taunting. Ah I can go on... Love you Vidya. Pls come back soon with your new project. Sending you love ❤️
Alia gets her debut role at the age of 20 without auditioning for a single role ever. Vidya gets her debut role at the age of 26 after auditioning extensively for 6 months before being cast in Parineeta.She was dropped or replaced from numerous projects.. and industry still denies benefits of having power connections aka nepotism and previlege
absolutely agree. its been 14 years since her debut. i remember falling in love with her in parineeta... despite the nepotistic curse true talent always thrives. we as audience can change that by not watching the unfair nepotism products ;)
Very true as an outsider I got into Bollywood for actors like vidya (she has such great expressions) never felt touched by the new gen nepotistic actors like Alia ... I think Sara Ali khan will get a pass
Alia Bhatt don't need to because Karan Johar is handling her career. Without Karan Johar, she wouldn't even be on Mallika Sherawat level today. Shame on Alia. Shame on Karan. And shame on Bollywood/Nepowood.
Her most influential work till date has to be Paa (2009) which created a niche for this talented actor. If she ever try to become a director down the line, I think Indian Film Industry might see the female avatar of the legendary director Hrishikish Mukherjee sir. Vidya has the calm demeanor, deep insight of the creative process of filmmaking and view of life which is reminiscent to the Hrishikish Da. Just like Hrishikish sir, Vidya seems to have a fascination of depicting life with its varied themes in a non-sentimental and not so dark shades of crippling realities on to the silver screen. Her potential as an actor can't be fully exploited by the current breed of directors in India.
Vidya oh vidya: I love love you.. As an actor and as a person!!! The finest actress and the most beautiful human being!!! So beautiful nuances in the acting.. And so positive happy beautiful and so articulate in real...!!Uff you are the best!!😘😘😘😘😘😘😘 Also I get what she means when one says when you take life too seriously and then after the realization you want to love and enjoy life as much as possible.. Been there! But I get what rajeev is saying Vidya we as audience want to see more of you onscreen!! 😍😍
Rajeev Sir, you allow people to talk when they are recollecting something imp which they want to share, these emotions are too good to watch with someone like you who has no anxiety issue and is calm and patient. Expressing how they feel of their past experience is what makes the show interesting. Thank you.
God I love listening to her interviews! She is so lively . I love the look in her eyes the excitement. Everything, I adore her . God bless her forever !
She is such a beautiful person inside and out. One of my favorite actress ! Not sure when it’ll happen, but I’m eagerly waiting to see Shahrukh Khan and Vidhya Balan on screen together. And in a Sanjay Leela Banasali film would be epic.
Good observation... As much as I like kangana's work, I see her confidence turning into arrogance with every project.... Vidhya has evolved with every project... They are a world apart 😊

Vidya is so content now. Feel happy for her. She said rightly that she has proved her capability to the audience and herself. I do hope that she suits the Indira role well. Eagerly waiting for Indira and Mission Mangal
Always loved her personality and her laughter which can lighten up the mood! I remember watching the makeing of tumhari sulu and it made me fell in love with her more...love how she shuts who age shame or fat shame her 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Fun fact : friends often say I have a smile like her 😍😍😍
so refreshing to see Vidya speaking enthusiastically about all her contemporaries and her experiences..Rajeev you really need to let your guests complete their statements and also stop sounding so rushed
Omg I LOVED this interview!!! Felt like such an organic conversation!! I always look forward to Vidya's interviews. Thanks for the amazing content, Rajeev!! You're awesome!! I loved your questions!!
WHICH contemporary Bollywood actress would talk sooo givingly about other actors. I remember Anupama and Rajeev asked Shahid Kapoor at MAMI how he deals with boring script narrations, and they spoke about irrfan and how he deals with it, and THE SPEED OF LIGHT AT which Shahid turned the convo around and started speaking and speaking about himself was just astorunding.
Even during Rangoon interview when he was asked about working with national awards winner kangana... He turned the convo around him working with Irfan and others... Not a kangana fan... But give her the credit where she deserves.... I have observed that Shahid is a very insecure actor and a person
He pulled off the same stunt successfully after Padmavat: after signing a movie knowing full well that the female lead is the predominant character, he was seen sulking away from promotions, etc
She is too careful to not talk or comment anything on Kangana...amusing.she has been a supporter of Kangana and appreciated Manikarnika too(though only when she was asked).Hope she stays healthy and happy always!
@Winnie the pooh you people are so attracted so superficial goodness that reality is of no importance to you at all.In any case, bringing up Kangana or not is my choice.Its my opinion.Why do you bother??
Vidya is a much MUCH better radio host than Kareena. She is in tune with society, has gone through real problems and has a nice positive vibe to her. Who agrees?
True. Kareena only talks about first-world problems, when most of the Indian women are still struggling with third (and second) world problems.

Rajeev was right, just watching Vidya made me feel happy and positive.
Her laugh is extremely contagious and her appreciation , love and so much enthusiasm. She's genuine and grounded.
Unpopular opinion: Vidya would have been a better choice for Jayalalitha biopic. And kangana would have been seamless as Indira Gandhi!
Anyways..both the ladies are terrific actors..so i dont have any objection❤
Vidya has signed a web series based on Indira that's why she said no for movie role
I totally agree ..
Her husband bought the rights to a book on Indira Gandhi..
Unfortunately there's no one wanting to make a movie on Indira Gandhi..
But maybe when Kangana's old there will be a writer who will write on the mature Indira Gandhi and producers will cast her..
Right.. But I still think kangana can pull off a jayalalitha.. I want her to..
Yes , i agree and I also want to tell, may be we are so obsessed with "look a like" stigma! It will be very interesting to see other way around.
What a breath of fresh air. Thank you, Rajeev.

so refreshing to see Vidya speaking enthusiastically about all her contemporaries and her experiences..Rajeev you really need to let your guests complete their statements and also stop sounding so rushed
So genuine, positive and enthusiastic about life.
Omg I LOVED this interview!!! Felt like such an organic conversation!! I always look forward to Vidya's interviews. Thanks for the amazing content, Rajeev!! You're awesome!! I loved your questions!!
I could listen to her for hours! Love her personality!
Vidya as in Jayalalitha would have been more interesting than Kangana
True vidya can portray jayalalitha and kangana can portray indhira gandhi.
Yeah maybe
True
@@Finnola why? Because Vidya is South Indian and Kangana is North Indian?
@Sunitha Shetty and you wouldn't spot bias if it bit you
WHICH contemporary Bollywood actress would talk sooo givingly about other actors. I remember Anupama and Rajeev asked Shahid Kapoor at MAMI how he deals with boring script narrations, and they spoke about irrfan and how he deals with it, and THE SPEED OF LIGHT AT which Shahid turned the convo around and started speaking and speaking about himself was just astorunding.
Do you deem Shahid Kapoor an actor??I dont...just a frivolous over hyped performer. My opinion worth 2 cents
Even during Rangoon interview when he was asked about working with national awards winner kangana... He turned the convo around him working with Irfan and others... Not a kangana fan... But give her the credit where she deserves.... I have observed that Shahid is a very insecure actor and a person
miss secret giggle omg he comes across as extremely insceure
He pulled off the same stunt successfully after Padmavat: after signing a movie knowing full well that the female lead is the predominant character, he was seen sulking away from promotions, etc
Shes a very lively person....absolutely lovable person
Such a delight to hear Vidya every single time... .
One of the finest actress of this generation....
Absolute delight to watch and Listen to her.. So so real!!!!
Kahani was nail biting movie. Her performance was heartening. ❤️
What an intelligent & real person to listen to!
Her choices of films are absolutely brave and amazing!
It really is a Capri trait. I can vouch for that. Great to know what is to come. Thanks Vidya.
Such a lovely chat with Vidya. She is all heart ❣. Thank you Rajeev 😊
I can keep listening to this for hrs!!!😍😍😍😍 Already made my morning!! 😍
Miss u Vidya mam in movies... All d best for ur radio show...
A person who can give a competition to popular actors. The Dirty Picture was entire a one women show.
She has evolved as a person and actor.
She is too careful to not talk or comment anything on Kangana...amusing.she has been a supporter of Kangana and appreciated Manikarnika too(though only when she was asked).Hope she stays healthy and happy always!
@Winnie the pooh you people are so attracted so superficial goodness that reality is of no importance to you at all.In any case, bringing up Kangana or not is my choice.Its my opinion.Why do you bother??
Oh Vidya! You are a power house of positivity :D I can listen to you conversing the whole day
11:54 My... My... The way Vidhya Rap!!❤️❤️❤️❤️😍
The passion she has for life in general in everything she does is amazing!❤️
One of the best thing I have seen recently.
Lovely interview my fav Vidya Balan. U should start a talk show....it will be awesome to watch. Welcome to the 40's...it's gonna be a great adventure!
Beautiful, effervescent, talented, erudite, bubbly.....I am still lack of words to describe this lady.
Such a strong women... Good popular vocab... Opinions!!...wowwwwwwwwww....loads of love
Nobody: You cannot praise Vidya anymore!!!
Rajeev: Hold my beer ...
True 😂😍
Vidya makes me happy 😄💫
A BEAUTIFUL optimistic woman! ❤️
oh vidya.... everytime she speaks 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Vidya is a true gem of a person . You don't see people like her in the industry often.
She is so real... so refreshing to see such a talented and successful actor not following the latest fashion or gym trend.
Amazing energy Vidya has.. Loved her excited, positive vibe, her deeply felt views. Loved the interview. Thank You Rajeev!
She is smart, elegant, seductive, talented, funny. I mean what's there not to love her?
RAJEEV YOU INSPIRED ME A LOT 🙏🔥🔥 THANKS FOR EVERYTHING
I love the way she appreciates her co-stars, a rare dodo bird because she means it and does not fake ...
Beautifully Happy!! That's Vidya;)
For someone who's as bona fide an actor as Vidya Balan, the platform/medium really doesn't matter much. Be it 70mm, or TV, or OTT.
Very intellectual conversation
So much of positive vibes form her....love it...🥰
I just love to see and hear her talking... I connect to you
I haven't seen any other actress who is so humble, always happy with what she has than vidya balan. she is so so lovely human being.
She's simply human!❤
She is gorgeous and pure actress talent. ❤️ her acting.
