The host was surprised by the small number of sarees Vidya owns, and in response, she mentioned that she often gives away her sarees because she doesn't often get the chance to wear them more than once, "I keep giving away sarees. Because what will I do holding on to them? I don't get a chance to repeat my sarees so the one I have kept are ones that have some sort of emotional meaning to me," she said.
What else was said during the interview?
In the same interview Vidya Balan said that she would not like to talk about politics. Elaborating on her reason for the same, she said, "Politics se bohot darr lagta hai, phir humko ban-van kardege toh⦠It hasn't happened with me, thankfully, but now actors have are wary about talking about politics because you don't know who will get offended. Especially around the release of a film, it is the work of 200 people at stake, so I just say keep me away from politics."
When asked if she has seen this fear of talking about politics right from the beginning of her career, she said that it was not the case earlier. "This has been happening because of social media, people take offense over everything. They give their input even on matters they don't know much about. So it's best to zip your mouth and keep working," she added.
