Vidya Balan has basking in rave reviews of her last film Shakuntala Devi. The actress, who played the lead role of Shakuntala Devi, a drama that traces the journey of the mathematician who also handled motherhood with equal aplomb at home had a rough start in her career.

In an interview to India Today, the actress said that after her debut film was shelved abruptly, she was labelled 'jinxed' and lost out on many of her future projects. She said, "I think when I first did my feature film with Mohanlal in Malayalam, I got 7-8 film offers after my first schedule. The only problem was that the film got shelved after the first schedule. So not only did the film get shelved, I was also replaced in all other films. I was labelled jinxed after that."
