I also love the work Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon are doing."When further asked to choose her top three roles, she spoke about 'Paa' where she played Amitabh Bachchan's mother. In the film, Bachchan played a 12-year old boy suffering from a genetic condition called Progeria. Abhishek Bachchan played Big B's father in the film. Vidya then pointed out her titular role in 'Shakuntala Devi' and then 'Tumhari Sulu'.'The Dirty Picture' actress said, "In each of these films, there was an opportunity for me to do something different as an actor.
They were well fleshed-out characters, and yet they were great scripts and very engaging, entertaining films."
In the same interview, Vidya also spoke about how it's time that female-led movies make a comeback in cinema as they are lost after Covid. She said, "The studios feel it would be safer to bet on the historically male-led films. In my opinion, this calls for a reinvention in the female-led film space.”
