She may have carved a niche for herself in Bollywood, but Vidya Balan's journey was far from easy. The multiple award-winning actress, who served as a jury member at the Cannes Film Festival last year, faced a lot of disappointments. Before she got selected for Vidhu Vinod Chopra's film, Parineeti, the actress went through 40 screen tests and had to do 17 make-up shoots before the director selected her as his film's heroine. The actress, who started her career with TV, and was a known face on TV, tried her hands at regional films. She was first rejected by a Tamil producer and her Malayalam film opposite superstar, Mohanlal, titled Chakram was shelved. Vidya then debuted as a model in 1998 with a Surf Excel ad. The actress is apparently a cleanliness freak and allegedly suffers from OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). She is also said to have played cupid for all her friends and loves to set her friends up. | She may have carved a niche for herself in Bollywood, but Vidya Balan's journey was far from easy.
