Vidya Balan - Slow & Steady Wins the Race ?

Vidya Balan has done good for himself inspite of getting into the industry at quite a later age for a conventional heroine, she perhaps missed out on the commercial running around trees song & dance routines age (although she did try that in kismat konnection with shahid kapoor looking quite ackward) While most of the mainstream heroines start on taking those arty film roles as soon as they start aging - tabu , urmila, preeti ..vidya started off her career with such roles & perhaps has established her as a serious actress quite sooner than what even she expected after being just a small tv star at one point of time.
