Vidya Balan: “Glad That Our Movies Are Celebrating India’s Culture, History & Heritage”

Celebrated Bollywood actress Vidya Balan, who is part of the multi-star cast of the much-awaited “Mission Mangal“, feels like a nation India has a lot of achievements that we do not celebrate enough, and a film as “Mission Mangal“, loosely based on the ISRO Mars Orbiter Mission, is an attempt to salute something India should be proud of.

“I think we Indians do not wear our pride on our sleeves (enough) for our country. I am so glad that over the last few years, so many films are been made that make us Indians aware of our achievements. When I travel abroad, I see people are so proud of their nation, their heritage and culture,” said Vidya, at the trailer launch of the film on Thursday.

“We have great culture, history, and heritage, and we should start celebrating these. I am glad that our movies are doing that now,” she added.

The actress was present alongside the cast of the film including Akshay Kumar, Sonakshi Sinha, Taapsee Pannu, Kirti Kulhari, Nithya Menen, Sharman Joshi, and director Jagan Shakti.

In the film, Vidya plays Tara Shinde, the program director of the mission.
