And it is not just there in Bollywood whatever is present in society, is present in Bollywood as well. It is important that we get rid of it.”

Having said that, Vidya is also of the opinion that she would not want to work with her husband Siddharth Roy Kapur, though they are in the same business. “It is important to keep certain things away from each other,” she says.
