MUMBAI \u2013 March 20 (ONLINE) Bollywood star Vidya Balan recently recalled how she was subjected to disrespectful behavior and mistreatment early in her career to the point that she could not look in the mirror for six months due to one such encounter.<\/p>\n

Speaking to an Indian publication, Balan revealed how she was replaced in 13 films. \u201cIn recent times, I have received calls from them [producers who earlier replaced her in their films],\u201d she shared. \u201cBut I politely refused to be part of their films. I was kicked out of 13 films.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen one producer replaced me in a film, their behavior with me was very bad,\u201d the actor continued narrating a heartbreaking experience. \u201cThey made me feel so ugly that for six months, I could not gather the courage to look at myself in the mirror.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Humari Adhuri Kahani star recalled one such rejection which led her to walk over a large distance in Mumbai in the scorching heat. \u201cI had signed two films with K Balachander at a time when I was being replaced in many films. I got to know that I was also replaced in Balachander\u2019s film and I was not even informed,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
