Balan bares it: Vidya sans makeup

Aug 29, 2016 05:10 PM IST

In an image-driven Bollywood, actress Vidya Balan poses with no-makeup for the first time ever, for HT Brunch, and reveals her innermost convictions.

When we meet Vidya Balan at her seaside Juhu bungalow, the actress is dressed casually in a cotton chikankari kurta with the evening sun doubling up as her halo. There is not a speck of makeup on her face. Yet she looks more gorgeous than ever.
