Vidya Balan Reveals This Childhood Incident Was The Cause Of Her Hormonal Issues: "I Was So Angry"

"Ive always competed with the boys," Vidya said

Vidya Balan, who is gearing up for her theatrical release Neeyat alongside Rahul Bose, recently revealed in a podcast that she owes the hormonal issues in her body to a scarring event from her younger days. In an appearance in Ranveer Allahbadia's podcast, the Parineeta actress spoke about a conversation that took place many years ago between her father and uncle, which became the root cause of her hormonal issues and also marked the beginning of her denying her femininity.

Recalling the incident, Vidya Balan said "I remember a conversation between my uncle and my father, when my uncle told my father, ‘Don't worry, my son will be there for you until…' I was so angry because we were sitting there, both of us, my sister and me. And we were like, ‘We don't need anyone else's son to be there for our father'. We are both, by God's grace, able-bodied and able-minded, we don't need anyone else.”

Vidya Balan also acknowledged that in all probability, her uncle did not mean what he said but it left a deep impact on her. “I've always competed with the boys,” she said, adding that it gave her ambition, but it also made her ‘deny (her) femininity'.
