Priyamani on actress Vidya Balan News Update on SerialBoosters.com

The popular actors Priyamani and Vidya Balan share a family connection that often surprises many: they are second cousins. Their bond stems from the fact that their grandfathers were brothers. Despite this familial link, Priyamani has been open about the nature of their relationship, explaining that they are not closely in touch on a personal, day-to-day level.

A Distant, But Admirable, Family Connection
In various interviews, Priyamani has clarified that while they are related, she and Vidya Balan have "never been on talking terms" in the way typical cousins might be. 

Their interaction has been minimal, with Priyamani stating they have only met a handful of times, usually at industry events. One instance she recalled was at an award function, and another was reportedly at an industry party.

This doesn't mean there is any bad blood, however. Priyamani has consistently expressed profound admiration for Vidya Balan as an artist. She has publicly called her cousin a "phenomenal actor" and shared that there is a strong sense of mutual respect for each other's work. Priyamani often expresses how much she misses seeing Vidya's powerful performances on screen and eagerly awaits her next project.

Interestingly, Priyamani revealed that her familial connection is much stronger with Vidya Balan's father, P. R. Balan. She mentioned that Balan uncle is in regular contact with her and her own father, indicating that the older generation in the family maintains a more consistent rapport. Priyamani shared that if Balan uncle can't get through to her directly, he will often call her father, and the two chat regularly.

The relationship between Priyamani and Vidya Balan is a clear example of how family ties can be present even without frequent personal interaction, especially when two individuals are leading busy lives in different film industries Priyamani largely in the South Indian industries and Hindi projects, and Vidya Balan predominantly in Bollywood.

Their dynamic is characterized by a distant kinship yet a shared, deep professional respect for each other's immense talent and success in the demanding world of Indian cinema.

On the work front, Vidya was last seen in Bhool Bhulaiyya 3 with Kartik Aaryan. On the other hand, Priyamani will be next seen in The Family Man Season 3 with Manoj Bajpayee, Sharib Hashmi and Jaideep Ahlawat. To know such latest updates, stay tuned to serialboosters.com Thank you!
