Vidya Balan unveils why she doesn’t watch ‘Game of Thrones’

Bollywood actress Vidya Balan recently revealed she’s no different from everyone else as she loves to binge watch television shows, seasons after seasons. However, the actress also disclosed why she doesn’t watch TV history’s most famous show ‘Game of Thrones’.

It will be almost a year before we would get hear the words, ‘winter is coming’ but in the meantime, another show is taking over the television ‘Stranger Things’. However, ‘Dirty Picture’ actress says she will never watch this show.

Speaking about her favorite shows, Vidya said, “I am heartbroken that we won’t be seeing another season of ‘Houses of Cards’. I was crazy about ‘Mad Men’, too. I liked watching ‘Downtown Abbey’, and ‘Girls’, and I absolutely love ‘Narcos’. I am not the ‘Stranger Things’ sort of a person. I can’t watch it. I tried watching ‘Black Mirror’, but it’s extremely disturbing. I also tried watching ‘Mind hunter’. However, within the first five minutes, I just gave up. It’s too brutal. I don’t watch ‘Game of Thrones’ either. I tried watching it, but I found it too graphic. I can’t deal with all that violence," Pink Villa reported.

When asked which character she would like to essay from a TV Show, the actress revealed, "Pablo Escobar. I would love to do ‘Narcos’ and play that character. I was actually offered a film about a lady drug peddler who is a big shot but I didn’t do it. However, as a series, it might be very interesting, but then, now ‘Narcos’ is already done. So, you don’t want to repeat the same thing but something like that or maybe a political drama."

"The only thing that has got me interested in politics is ‘Houses of Cards.’ Another old interesting HBO series I saw was ‘Six Feet Under’. I thought the writing in that was brilliant. I would love to do a drama or a thriller. I also like ‘True Detective’ a lot, which is an old show," she said.

On work front, ‘Kahaani’ actress is enjoying the success of her recently released movie ‘Tumhari Sulu’, in which the actress plays the role of a home maker and a RJ.
