Singing a new tune
“I LOVE THE CAMERA. SO WHETHER IT’S A FULL LENGTH FEATURE, A WEB SERIES OR A SHORT FILM, THE FORMAT DOESN’T MATTER. THE CAMERA COMFORTS ME, SEDUCES ME, IT’S INVITING, IT’S CHALLENGING. AS LONG AS THE CONTENT EXCITES ME, I’M GAME”
Her voice has both - the mystique of a temptress and the lilt of a playful stream. You don’t have to see Vidya Balan to fall in love with her. Hearing her is mesmerising enough. After playing an enthusiastic radio jockey in the award-winning Tumhari Sulu, the actor is now ruling the airwaves with her radio show Dhun Badal Ke Toh Dekho.
Given her sensitive disposition and compassionate outreach, the actor is doing a fabulous job and But the concept of this show appealed to me,” she says. The title has a positive vibe she insists. It urges you to sing another tune and see the world through a new lens. “It’s about offering different perspectives to people and then maybe effecting change gently, not through preaching,” she explains. The show touches upon serious topics and fun themes like mother-in-law and daughter-in-law issues, new-age parenting or the romance between parents… “Most people are uncomfortable with the thought of their parents romancing,” she smiles.
