Vidya Balan on stage performance after 12 years
Vidya told us, “I am not really a dancer. If a role requires me to dance, I’ll work at it and do what is required. After The Dirty Picture, I haven’t had the opportunity to dance. None of my films have had songs where I could dance. I’ve never performed on stage, have been petrified of a live audience. Not that much anymore.”
