[৩] In this context, Vidya Balan said, ‘If someone comes to me asking for a donation to build a religious institution, I never give it. I say, if you want to build a hospital, school or any toilet, then I will gladly give money. But I will not give financial help to any religious institution.

[৪] He also said, ‘India now believes in much polarization on religion. People are leaning towards religious identity. Earlier, such a scene could not be seen in the country, but now the situation has changed a lot.’ Source: Anandabazar

[৫] Pointing to the exaggeration of religion, Vidya said, ‘Earlier, no one bothered about religious identity as a countryman. But now I don’t know why the matter has become like this. Not only in politics, but also in social media. Social media has a big hand in fueling the issue of polarization. They made the situation worse. People are more alone now!’

[৬] Vidya Balan’s movie ‘Do Aur Do Pyaar’ has been released. He is sweating in the promotion of the film. It stars Prateek Gandhi opposite Vidya. The film hit theaters on April 19.
