I don't like depriving myself of the good things in life: Vidya Balan

She asserts that she deserved a break to spend quality time with her loved ones.

She is being tagged the lady Khan of Bollywood, what with both her last releases doing exceptionally well at the BO. But actress Vidya Balan says that she isn’t taking all these tags very seriously.

“I’m just too happy when I hear these kinds of compliments and they make me realise that I’m on the right track. However, I don’t get carried away as I don’t want to fly high and be overconfident,” says Vidya.

The actress is not only said to be a trendsetter in terms of her choice of films, but also praised for bringing curves back in fashion. “I don’t like depriving myself of the good things in life. I never diet or anything. I feel as Indian women we all are endowed with an exotic and fuller frame. In fact, this is our USP for the outside world — Indian exotic beauty. So why try and be something that is unfit and not us? Also, I believe in doing everything in moderation. This is also my life’s funda — there are so many stunning things to do in life and I want to experience it all. I do not want to withdraw myself from these beautiful luxuries of life. I want to have all kinds of experiences that
I can, in this lifetime,”
smiles Vidya.

Post her two back-to-back hits, the actress is currently enjoying her time off from work with family and loved ones.

She adds, “I have been working non-stop for quite sometime, due to which I have not really been able to spend any quiet family time with my folks. I feel it’s very important to be able to spend time with people who are close to your heart and I am doing exactly that. Also, in this time that I’ve taken off before starting work on Ghanchakkar, I wish to utilise it to learn a new language.”
