I don't read my reviews at all: Vidya Balan

Her next film Tumhari Sulu, which comes out on November 17, revolves around a middle-aged ordinary housewife named Sulu who is a happy-go-lucky person with an extraordinary calibre. The film tells the story of how the housewife, who lives with her husband and son, tries hard to add spice to their lives.


Vidya is excited for the release of Tumhari Sulu and mentioned that she’s not bothered about the figures. The Kerala-born actor, who is married to producer Siddharth Roy Kapoor in real life, also had a message for anyone who wishes to enter the industry. She quoted, “There's no one way to be successful. You have to find your own path to success. And self-confidence is the biggest qualification for success in any field.”
