Here’s why Vidya Balan claims she is similar to Kangna Ranaut

Speaking to the media, Vidya Balan said that, during her early days, Vidya Balan admitted being like the fiery Kangna Ranaut, who had got into bad books of many after her nepotistic comments about Karan Johar. Vidya Balan quickly added that, she never landed herself into any trouble publicly, but, had been reminded of it in her interactions with them later. She also made a sweeping statement by stating that missing out on working with her was absolutely their loss and that such things doesn’t stop good roles from coming one’s way.

Opening up a bit more about her closely guarded personal life, Vidya Balan revealed that while she doesn’t make friends easily, her close friends were those who she had met in school and college. She also confessed of not having industry friend. Speaking about her criteria of signing a film, Vidya Balan said that she would work in any film if the script was good, and not because a superstar was associated with it.
