Vidya Balan slams a journalist who asked her if she would lose weight for glamourous role

Women have been expected to live up to the ridiculous beauty standards. Although things have changed over the years, some still think women in the film industry need to look a certain way and a certain body type for glamourous roles. So, when a strange question was asked to Vidya Balan, she had a fitting response.

At one of the promotional events for her upcoming film Tumhari Sulu, Vidya Balan was asked whether she would lose weight for a glamourous role. A male journalist asked, “We have always seen you in women-centric roles. Going forward, would you prefer doing women-centric roles or have you thought of losing weight?”
