Vidya Balan Shows Off Incredible Body Transformation At Chandu Champion Premiere

Vidya Balan, known for her candid views on beauty standards in the film industry, has sparked interest towards tackling body image issues following her recent public appearance. Attending the special screening of Kartik Aaryan's "Chandu Champion," Vidya’s noticeable change in appearance has led to a flurry of comments on social media, suggesting she might be on a significant weight loss journey. This comes ahead of her anticipated role in the Diwali release, "Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3."

Videos from the event have gone viral, with internet users debating the authenticity of Vidya’s apparent weight loss. Some comments suggest that medical treatments might be involved, reflecting skepticism about the naturalness of her transformation. One user commented, "These days, money can achieve anything, even quick weight loss." Another speculated, “She’s probably had a gastric band surgery.”

Vidya Balan has always been open about her struggles with body image. Her role in "The Dirty Picture" (2011) required significant weight gain to convincingly portray Silk Smitha, thrusting her body into the spotlight. Even before this role, Vidya’s body has been a topic of public discussion, often against her will.

In a 2020 interview, Vidya discussed her lifelong battle with body image. She recalled blaming her body for professional setbacks and trying extreme measures like drinking 10 liters of water a day and rigorous workouts to change her appearance. Despite her efforts, she struggled to accept her body for many years.

However, in the same interview, Vidya shared a positive shift that began in 2019, leading her to embrace her body type fully. She expressed a newfound acceptance and appreciation for her body, marking a significant personal journey.

As Vidya continues to navigate her career and public life, her evolving relationship with her body remains a topic of public interest and discussion.
