Panaji: Bollywood actress Vidya Balan said she was labelled as jinxed in the industry as her projects were getting shelved. "My family went with the perception of Cinema of being big bad world. I told my parents that I will do one film and I will quit. I got signed for Malayalam film which was shelved.

"Later there were about three films that I was part of which were shelved. I was labelled jinxed. I was thrown out of the film because of that," Balan said at the ongoing 'Women Economic Forum' here. The 'Parineeta' protagonist said her initial struggle had a silver lining when her parents who were opposing her choice to be in the films, later wanted that at least one film of her should be completed.
