Bidita’s life centres around the philosophy of “what goes around, comes around” - symbolised by the boomerang she holds in the picture. Throw it right and it gets the job done, but throw it wrong and it’ll come back to hit you in the face.

This outlook, and probably her life experience, is what makes Bidita quite the responsible one. She is an actor, but not one who’d go for big budget movies just for the fame. She veers towards social-political issues, feeling responsible towards bringing about a change.

And as they say, the first time you get a job, it’s usually because of your talent. But the second time you do, it’s because of your ethic. This is where our movie star shines… Despite choosing diverse career paths like modeling, painting, acting and singing, she has carved a niche for herself in all of them, with her boomerang philosophy. In a field where there are many self-centred and egotistical people, here is a woman who is thoughtful about others. An insight into why she took up acting, despite it being a struggle, is because she felt responsible to represent women in a male-dominated film industry!

The boomerang isn’t a weapon in her hands, it’s a constant reminder. One that has got her far in life, but also pulled her back when she got too far. It is to her, a guiding light, just as she wishes to be for others.
