Vidya Balan in the look of her upcoming film looks badass, unconventional and bold. She is also seen abusing a lot in the trailer. In real life too, the actress is quite outspoken about her views.
Recently Vidya for the promotion of Begum Jaan was in Kolkata where she had lashed out at a male fan for touching her inappropriately.
The actress said, "I think words like feminism, molestation and sexual harassment are used loosely, and that’s upsetting. Someone behaved inappropriately, he touched my back when he was taking a selfie and I objected to it. That’s what it is. But to grab headlines, to say that I was molested is incorrect!"
Vidya further added, "I don’t read the papers or watch TV, so someone brought it to my notice, asking, 'Did you get molested?’ And I felt, for God’s sake let’s get some fundas clear! Yes, I thought he [the fan] was behaving inappropriately, and I said [to him]: ‘It’s wrong, don’t try and act smart! I didn’t let him take that selfie and that’s okay. We have to open our mouth when we don’t like something." Vidya's next film Begum Jaan will release on April 14, 2017.
