When asked about a role she has self-doubts about, Vidya told Siddharth Kannan on his YouTube channel, "I think probably Heyy Babyy and Kismat Konnection were two films where I wasn't sure what I was doing. I was constantly feeling like a fish out of water, and I think it showed despite the fact that both films did very well. I think it made me realise that I was not meant to do those kinds of roles."

Asked if she feels uncomfortable watching these films, Vidya clarified, "Not uncomfortable. Actually, I just didn't pay attention. I sleepwalked through those films because I don't know I didn't enjoy it."
