I wish as women we value ourselves each day, says Vidya Balan

- IANS

Actress Vidya Balan feels that women should value themselves each day so that they do not need women39s day to celebrate their achievements and strengths.The actress was interacting with the media at a panel discussion on 39Women Shaping the Narrative in Media Entertainment39 on International Women39s Day on Friday here.Over the question of changes that she wants to see in the lives of women working in the film industry, Vidya replied: "I won39t just talk about the film industry. I wish, as women, we should value ourselves little more each day so that someday we will not need women39s day to celebrate our achievements and strengths. In the past few years, the Hindi film industry has seen many successful female centric movies like 39Kahaani39, 39Pink39, 39Piku39, 39Tumhari Sulu39, 39Mardaani39, 39Raazi39 amongst others.Sharing her views on female centric movies in Bollywood, she said: "I think it used to happen before also but then it was happening in 39fits and spurts39. But at present, female centric cinema is growing slowly and steadily. The more success these kinds of films would get, the more they would be made." "There will be a time when people will just go to cinemas to watch the film without thinking whether it39s a male centric or a female centric film and that39s where we are heading. There are lots of faces who are responsible for this change. I think there are lots of stories waiting to be told," she said.When asked, how she is celebrating International Women39s Day, Vidya said: "I am celebrating women39s day by working and celebrating with the women who are celebrating themselves, who are living their lives to their fullest potential, unapologetically and I think there is no better way to celebrate any day than this way."Replying on who is an inspirational figure in her life, Vidya said that there is not a single woman. "I feel every woman who is trying to lead her life on her own terms is an inspiration to me," she said. On the work front, Vidya will next be seen onscreen in Telugu film "N.T.R: Kathanayakudu" and Hindi film "Mission Mangal".
