As a lifestyle expert, I find Vidya Balan’s journey truly inspiring. Her encounter with Rishi Kapoor as a young girl was a defining moment that left a lasting impression. It speaks volumes about her humility and starstruck innocence that even a legend like Rishi Kapoor could make such an impact on a little girl running around at a public function.

More recently, Vidya Balan looked back on her earliest encounter with a celebrity – the esteemed Rishi Kapoor. In reflecting upon that time, she confessed that as a young girl, she was absolutely awestruck in his presence, leaving her completely speechless. She even admitted to fleeing after spotting him, likening his rosy cheeks to those of an ‘apple’.

During an interview with Instant Bollywood, Vidya Balan reminisced about the very first famous personality she had encountered. She divulged a childhood memory where, by happenstance, she inadvertently ran into Rishi Kapoor at a public event.

The actress mentioned, “When I was young, I accidentally collided with Rishi Kapoor at a public event. I was rushing off somewhere and it turned out that the person I’d run into was him. At first, I thought I had hit an apple, but when I looked closer, I realized his cheeks were flushed pink.

She mentioned that as a young child, an encounter with Rishi Kapoor at an event left her astonished to the point of fleeing in awe. “Let me tell you, I just stared at him and took off in surprise. I was stunned because I’d just bumped into Rishi Kapoor. At that time, I was only a child, so he represented my very first encounter with a celebrity,” she explained.

Previously, during an open conversation with Galatta India, Vidya Balan shared insights about her past battles with losing weight. She disclosed that she had attempted severe diets and workout routines to remain slim, yet the weight would continually return. However, this pattern ceased when she encountered Amura Health, a nutritional group based in Chennai, which transformed her perspective on weight management.

It was clarified that the problem wasn’t about being overweight, but rather inflammation, and they suggested a unique diet to help manage it for Vidya. Interestingly, as a long-time vegetarian, Vidya discovered that even seemingly harmless foods such as spinach and doodhi (bottle gourd) were not well-tolerated by her body.

She emphasized the importance of understanding what works for one’s body, as not all foods are suitable for everyone. Vidya also shared that, after years of intense workouts, she was advised to stop exercising. 

This year marks the first time she’s skipped her workout routine, and surprisingly, some folks have commented on how slim she looks. Additionally, she emphasized the harsh assessments people often make regarding body shape and self-image.
