Most recently, she’s the guest on Anupama Chopra‘s The Front Row, which is airing tonight.

Anupama Chopra: What do you think is key to making a marriage between two strong, successful individuals work?

Vidya Balan: I think just being yourself. At home, I’m not an actor and he’s not the MD. So it’s just that, we’re just two people who want to be together, who are spending our lives together and are making the most of it. I love that line from Notting Hill where she says, “I’m just another girl wanting to be with this boy…” or some such. It’s like at home with my family, I’m just their daughter or sister. I can’t be an actor at home.
