Vidya Balan says that she was a fat, but happy kid. But things changed after growing up. "I tried to lose weight. I went through crash diets and spent a large part of my life dismissing and rejecting, and being sorry about my body. Irrespective of whatever physique I have had, there have always been bodily desires. I felt attractive," says the actor.

She adds that she isn't craving to lose weight. "I can keep wanting to be thinner, and I have realised that people all around want to be thinner, there is no end to it. So, I decided to live in this body and embrace it."
