Vidya Balan: I am very selfish about my space in front of the camera

With actress by the likes of Priyanka Chopra, Anushka Sharma, Kangana Ranaut, et al. dabbling into production as well as considering direction, it doesn't come as a surprise that other actress might follow suit. However, Vidya Balan has no plans to turn director and nor producer as she thinks her interest majorly lies in acting.

Talking about her acting prowess, Vidya in an interview with a leading daily said, "I have never been interested in any other area of filmmaking enough, to want to learn more about it. Whether it’s direction or production, honestly, I have no inclination and more than that, I don’t think I have the bandwidth to manage a complete project."

The actress further added, "I want to be handled. I don’t want to handle people. As a director, you have to handle everything and everyone aur woh mere se nahi hoga. [Also] I am very selfish about my space in front of the camera. I want to play every role that comes my way. And I can’t do cameo appearances because little se mere kya hoga."

Talking about taking up strong and off-beat roles, Vidya reveals that she doesn't feel the pressure to excel. "I rather look at it as a compliment and enjoy it. I take it as a blessing that people have expectations from me, but I’ve never let these expectations come in way of my thinking while deciding to do something," said Vidya as she signed off.
