Vidya Balan has established herself as the epitome of self-love and acceptance in the Bollywood industry. And that is where all the charm in her character stems from. The upcoming character that she has in store in Tumhari Sulu, is a housewife who is miles away from the stereotypical housewives we see in Bollywood and so much closer to the real ones. She wins goodies by participating in contests, has a sharp mind, and an awesome attitude towards life.
What I absolutely love about her is her spirit of doing things, and then winning at them. She isn’t that supposedly strong woman you see on TV who suddenly decides to be the best bahu ever after marriage, abandoning all her individuality. Sulu is an individual, and then a housewife and mother and a wife. She defines them, and not the other way round. And this is exactly why I have really high hopes for the movie.
The concept of female subjectivity that this movie touches upon makes me so, so happy. And well, Vidya Balan’s acting in the trailer is mind-blowing as usual.
The trailer promises a strong women character who stays in the house, unlike the ‘goddesses’ that are portrayed who are supposed to handle office and home all alone. She brings more power to all the women, the ones who choose to stay at home, and the ones who go to work. Just remember that you do you, girl!

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
