During the chat, Vidya humorously remarked, "I was on a film set where the director wore the same pair of shorts for 42 days because he was superstitious.

However, when prodded about the movie or director's name, Vidya admitted with laughter, "Actually, I've forgotten the name."In another interview with News 18 Showsha, Vidya fondly reminisced about her first wedding anniversary with her husband Siddharth Roy Kapur.
