‘I didn’t have courage to look in the mirror for six months’

Bollywood actress Vidya Balan recently starred in the crime thriller "Jalsa", where she shared screen space with Shefali Shah.

In an interview during the promotions for the film, Vidya recalled how she was once made to feel so ugly by a producer that she could not look at herself in the mirror for six months.

When asked if the same producers who replaced her then, call her for films now, the actress said, "In the recent times, I have received calls from them but I politely refused to be part of their films. I was kicked out of 13 films."

"When one producer replaced me in a film, their behaviour with me was very bad. They made me feel so ugly that for six months, I could not gather the courage to look at myself in the mirror," she added.
