One of India's most respected actresses, Vidya Balan recalls a decade in the film industry

Vidya Balan recalls her film career. From her debut in 'Parineeta' to several critically-acclaimed performances, Vidya has become one of India's most respected actresses.

One of India's most respected actresses, Vidya Balan presents her own-hour show especially for the BBC Asian Network, looking back at her decade in the film industry.

Labelled as a bad-luck charm in her early film career, Vidya made her Bollywood breakthrough in the movie 'Parineeta' in 2005. Since then Vidya is recognised as one of the industry's best actresses with critically-acclaimed roles in movies like The Dirty Picture, Kahaani and No-One Killed Jessica.

In this programme Vidya talks about her early mistakes picking projects, the film that boosted her self-esteem and the project she was told by advisors not to take. Vidya also picks the songs from those projects that hold a special place in her heart.
