Do not disturb Vidya Balan. The actress is busy selling her upcoming movie Do Aur Do Pyaar together with co-star Pratik Gandhi. Recently, the duo spoke to Radio Nasha concerning the relationship drama. In the chat, Vidya Balan was reminded concerning the trolling she acquired after the discharge of her 2008 rom-com Kismat Konnection. ICYMI, a phase of individuals trolled the actress for trying older than her co-star Shahid Kapoor. Speaking on the problem, Vidya expressed, “Yes, some people did say that and I think it was a witch hunt honestly, for reasons that we won’t get into right now. But, it’s really petty of whoever did it because (it) does not matter. I am two years older than him (Shahid Kapoor) and if I looked older than him, who cares? Love can happen between people of any age without making a big deal of it. But I guess, that was another time when we did not have these conversations.”

Vidya Balan additionally thanked the “so-called trollers” by saying, “Thanks to all those so-called trollers. (After that) I decided what kind of films I want to start doing. So thank you to all of them.”

A couple of days in the past, on the inaugural session of Indian Express Expresso, Vidya Balan addressed the questions on going through discrimination in Bollywood. The star mentioned, “Nepotism or no nepotism, I am here. Kisi ki baap ki industry nahi hai, nahi toh har baap ka beta, har baap ki beti successful hote [The film industry doesn’t belong to anybody’s father; otherwise, all the star kids would have been successful].”

Talking about the early days of her career, Vidya Balan added, “I was going through heartbreak for three years. That feeling of rejection was so strong and it was devastating. I was shattered and my will to continue on this path was shaken. But I have to say that the fire in my belly outshone everything else.”

In addition to Pratik Gandhi and Vidya Balan, Do Aur Do Pyaar additionally options Sendhil Ramamurthy and Ileana D’Cruz in essential roles. The movie is Shirsha Guha Thakurta’s directorial debut.
