Vidya Balan Sets The Bar In Pink Power

The Peacock Magazine's July 2025 cover features Vidya Balan in a vibrant pink ensemble, displaying her signature powerful presence. Vidya is straightforward and self-assured; there is no unnecessary show or drama. "I was in the right place at the right time, but more than that, I took advantage of every opportunity that presented itself," she explains. She has worked in the film industry for 20 years, but her desire for fulfilling work has not changed.

She’s never been one to chase the spotlight. While many talk loudly, Vidya lets her roles do the talking. At a time when few women-led stories were being taken seriously, she made space for them. And they worked. Not because they were packaged to trend, but because they were real. She’s kept that same approach through her career, choosing well, staying focused, and not forcing anything.

Inside the magazine, she talks about her work, her choices, and what keeps her steady. There’s no branding talk, no self-promotion, just honest thoughts. She reflects on the quiet moments, the riskier roles, and how she’s learned to tune out the noise. It feels like a real conversation, not a performance.

The team behind the issue, photographer Rohan Shrestha, stylist Who Wore What When, and designers Falguni Shane Peacock, keeps things sharp but simple. The Peacock Magazine drops soon on Amazon and Magzter. If you’ve followed Vidya or just want to hear from someone who’s built her career without shortcuts, this one's worth picking up.
