National Award and Padma Shri awardee Vidya Balan, who has proved her versatility in film after film, is happy with the kind of films and roles she has been getting and says as long as she will get good films, an Oscar is not too far from her.
The actress recently attended a press meet for Indian Film Festival of Melbourne 2014, and when she was asked about winning an Oscar in the future, she said: “I have never thought of winning an Oscar. I had not even thought of winning Padma Shri some day. And as long as I am assured of good films, then an Oscar is also not too far away,” she added.However, the 36-year-old is content with the film opportunities she has been getting.
I am doing a film where I am playing an aspiring politician. It is based on Anuja's book. We read that book and we bought the rights. It has an interesting love story. I am very excited about it
