In the film on one hand Vidya is shown as a helpless mother looking for her kidnapped daughter, and on the other hand she is projected as Durga Rani Singh, a woman on the run for kidnapping and murdering.
"If I had played this character when I was 25 or 26 year old then there wouldn't have been the relatability factor. But over the years I have begun to enjoy with children, I get along with them, I bond well with them.
The National Award-winning actress feels if there is a reference point for a character, it gets a bit easy to emote things on screen.
"If you have kids around then it does help. I did not have that point of reference until I had my niece and nephew. I don't know if I would have ever played this character four years ago," she said.
