National award-winning actress Vidya Balan said she was never part of the Bollywood rat race aiming for stardom and box office numbers, but surely wants her upcoming film \u201cKahaani 2-Durga Rani Singh\u201d to do well. \u2013 @siliconeer #siliconeer #Bollywood #VidyaBalan #Kahaani2<\/p>\n

\u201cI want the film to do very well. I am not thinking of anything like this. I feel thrilled about the work that I am doing. I just want it (Kahaani 2\u2019) to do well… ups and downs are part of career,\u201d Vidya told PTI when asked if a lot is at stake for her professionally with \u201cKahaani 2.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Dirty Picture\u201d star insists that box office numbers do not matter to her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t care about the graph, I have never been bothered about all this. I have never been in that rat race. I have never competed. I have been living in a bubble of my own.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have never compared myself to anyone or compared anyone to me. I think therefore numbers, remuneration are something I have never spoken about it. I get as much as what I command and that\u2019s what matters to me,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Off late, Vidya\u2019s films haven\u2019t performed well at the box office but the actress says she has taken failure in her stride.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is heartbreaking when a film doesn\u2019t work. But one has to get over it. It is like you go through heartbreaks in life and then you know there are many fishes in the sea.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether a film has succeeded or not it\u2019s all about me.<\/p>\n

This film did not work but I have a next film. I get satisfaction from my work. I am living my dream of being an actor. I feel blessed,\u201d the 38-year-old actress said.<\/p>\n

Vidya is now busy with the promotions of her new film.<\/p>\n

For almost all her films there has always been an innovative marketing idea. For promotions during \u201cKahaani\u201d Vidya stepped out as pregnant lady; for \u201cBobby Jasoos\u201d she turned a beggar and now with \u201cKahaani 2..,\u201d there are \u2018wanted\u2019 posters all around.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not my idea, it is the marketing team of a film that is fantastic and bright. I think marketing is important to put out the right kind of communication.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a franchise, we are taking ahead the story. I heard a lot of people were shocked and surprised with the poster idea,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
