Vidya Balan quashed the male-dominated stereotype of the hero-centric Bollywood with the portrayal of strong-willed characters and carved a niche for herself right from The Dirty Picture (2011) and Kahaani (2012). She is all set to ring in the same charm with her next release, Shakuntala Devi that will be released on the OTT platform of Prime Video on 31st July! Rolling the ball with the first of its kind - e-promotions, Vidya played dress up all whilst reigning in an impeccable neo-ethnic style.

While she is an official and undisputed saree ambassador and a certified chameleon of all things traditional and stunning, Vidya does throw in an occasional curveball with a neo-ethnic style.
