A Special Tribute to Vidya Balan on Her 47th Birthday: From 'Hum Paanch' to Bollywood's Powerhouse |

Today, January 1, 2026, marks the birthday of one of Indian cinema’s most versatile and acclaimed performers, Vidya Balan. Born in Mumbai in 1979, Vidya has redefined the role of women in Bollywood by choosing scripts that place female protagonists at the center of the narrative. From her early days as the bespectacled 'Radhika' in the iconic sitcom Hum Paanch to her groundbreaking debut in Parineeta (2005), she has consistently broken stereotypes regarding beauty standards and "heroine" roles. Known for her "acting powerhouse" status, she has delivered numerous blockbusters and was recently seen bringing back the iconic 'Manjulika' in the record-breaking Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 (2024).
