When Vidya Balan’s ego was hurt because of Aamir Khan

Vidya Balan is one of those celebs who are not afraid of speaking their heart out. The actress is currently busy with the promotions of her upcoming flick ‘Begum Jaan’, and she recently in an interview, she spoke how once the media photographers had hurt her ego because of Aamir Khan.

When she was asked if her ego was hurt at any point of time, she replied, “Yes! Of course, I still remember during my early days in the film industry I had gone to attend a funeral of someone from Bollywood. Since I was one actor who reached very much early, the photographers started flashing their camera on me. They also spoke to me. Soon enough, Aamir Khan entered and these photographers pushed me aside and started clicking Aamir. My ego was hurt. However, when I reached home and shared this incident with my family members, I was a changed person.”

Talking about how the incident changed her, Vidya said, “I then contemplated over certain norms and ways of being a star. I realized that Aamir has done a lot many good films and he is held in much higher esteem than I am. He is a well known star. The moment I realised this, I was perfectly normal.” (Also Read: CBFC strikes again: Vidya Balan’s ‘Begum Jaan’ suffers 12 cuts)

Vidya further went on to say what she learnt from the incident. She said, “I am a changed person now. If I am hurt by anything-then it may be a question asked by anyone from the media or for that matter hearing some comment on my fashion statement or some other stuff. I just go ahead and discuss it out with Siddharth and my family members. Until I have spilled out every bit of a not so good experience that I may have tasted, I am not content. So what I have learned is –never feel depressed or hurt take it as it comes within the stride of your life. This will keep you always happy and smiling.”

Well, we quite agree with Vidya.
