Vidya Balan is making headlines these days for her latest film, Do Aur Do Pyaar. Her performance in the movie has also been admired by fans and critics.
The actress, who is known for speaking her mind, recently opened up about how India as a country has become more polarized when it comes to religion.
Vidya Balan on the nation being polarized and looking to have a ‘religious identity’
While speaking at the podcast Unfiltered with Samdish, Vidya Balan said, “I feel we are definitely more polarized. As a nation, we did not have a religious identity before, but now I don’t know why… It’s not just politics; it is also social media. Because we are all lost in this world and looking for an identity, which we don’t have organically, we are looking for things to attach ourselves to.”
Explaining her point, Vidya said that everything has only become about religion and wokeness, and the rise in social media use has made us lonelier than ever. “At a very superficial level, we are attaching ourselves to ideas and concepts conveniently… The world is polarized today, it is not just one country,” she said making her point.
The Do Aur Do Pyaar actress also explained why, despite being deeply spiritual, she doesn’t donate to building religious structures. She said she would rather donate her money to healthcare, sanitation, and education.
