MUMBAI — Vidya Balan has portrayed a range of characters on the big screen and says acting allows you to live another person's world, according to ndtv.com. "I don't think it (acting) is about proving oneself. It is about inhibiting another person's world, one you have not been in before. I think as an actor, living a person's life is exciting," she said. Balan recently portrayed the role of a plump loud Punjabi woman with an unusual dressing sense "Ghanchakkar." The film bombed at the box office but Balan was praised for her acting skills by critics. — SG
