In an interview with Indian Express, Vidya Balan opened up about how a producer judged her for her appearance earlier in her career. The Do Aur Do Pyaar actress revealed, “We sat with the producer, and he said, ‘Just look at her, does she look like a heroine from any angle?’ I think that comment about my appearance was very damaging.
