The filmmaker wore the same pair of shorts for 42 days
Narrating an incident related to the early stages of her career, Vidya said in an interview, ‘I was on the sets of a film when the director wore the same pair of shorts for 42 days, because he had a superstition that doing so would make his film a hit. I never noticed because I don’t see it all but I heard things like that on set. The funny thing is that the film was a flop. When Vidya was asked the name of that director, she said that she had forgotten his name.

Vidya was called ‘Analki’.
Well, this is not the first time Vidya has shared such things about filmmakers. Earlier he had said in an interview that initially he had signed some Malayalam films but the director called him unlucky and dropped him from the film. When her parents met the director, she said, ‘Does your daughter (Vidya) look like a heroine? I have shown his horoscope, he is unlucky.
Thus Vidya was removed from 12 films as unlucky. Initially, Vidya was not bothered by these things, but gradually she too started to break down with this rejection.
Got recognition from the movie ‘Parineeta’
After several failed attempts, Vidya started her acting career in 2003 with the Bengali film ‘Bhalo Thekko’. After seeing her brilliant performance in this film, director Pradeep Sarkar asked her to audition for the film ‘Parineeta’.
The film’s producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra was looking for a seasoned actress for the film, but was later satisfied with Vidya’s dedication. She was awarded the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut for her very first film. After this, Vidya’s career took off and today she is one of the most talented actresses in the industry.
