Vidya Balan shares her take on working in biopics and shares what matters the most while working in one, the actress shares, "You know, when you do a biopic, it's more the essence of the person that needs to get captured. You don't imitate the person or mimic the person. I think that was a big learning."

Sharing a memory of one of her characters 'Silk' from The Dirty Picture, Vidya says, `I remember Milan Luthria telling me I don't look like Silk Smitha. Similarly, I don't look like Shakuntala. So the important thing was to capture the essence of the person."
