Bollywood actor Vidya Balan will soon be seen in the upcoming film ‘Jalsa’. Speaking in a recent interview, when asked why she decided to never work with her husband producer Siddharth Roy Kapur, Vidya said that after their 2013 film ‘Ghanchakkar’ did not fare well at the box office, they were both low. This prompted her to decide one of them has to be the pillar if the other’s going through a lull.
Vidya also added that in terms of monetary compensation, she will compare what a co-star is getting paid in comparison. “I’ll start comparing how much he is paying another actor vs how much he is paying me. If he is paying another actor more, I’ll hate it. I want to be the most valued in his eyes,” she said.
Vidya also said she did not want her achievements to get diluted because of her husband. “I also think that I don’t want anyone to reduce my achievements to saying this happened for you because of your husband because one has worked very hard to get here and as much as I love him, I don’t want that to happen for either of us. It’s very reductive in a lot of ways. People say na aapka toh production house hai na and I say mere pati ka hai, mera nahi hai, fark hai. (People say you have a production house, and I say it’s not mine, it is my husband’s, there is a difference) They don’t understand it,” she said.
'Jalsa' was released on March 18 on Amazon Prime Video. Directed by Suresh Triveni, it also features Shefali Shah.
