"When Siddharth proposed, I couldn’t believe it initially. Since we were together, I knew we would talk marriage at some stage. And then, he popped the question and did not even wait for a reply. It was taken for granted! I could have gone on living without marriage, but I do not believe in live-in relationships because it may be difficult when you want a child. When he proposed, I was like, “Okay, so now we need to talk about it."

“I’m fed up of these rumours. These days people look at my stomach when they talk to me. Inshallah, I will have a baby—but not so soon. I’m not mentally ready for motherhood yet. It’s a daunting task to be responsible for another human being.”

She had further talked about motherhood and how she feels it has nothing to do with age. She had said:

“Motherhood has nothing to do with age. This is a predicament most working women face today since they are getting married in their 30s. Many of my friends have told me that it’s fulfilling to wake up in the morning and look at your baby, clean him/her up--but it’s all so consuming. This would leave you with little energy for anything else. I don’t know how I’ll deal with that.”

It is often observed that the career of an actress nearly dies when she gets hitched. The roles that they get are not satisfactory enough. Even in general, it is the girl, who has to make various sacrifices in order to adjust with her in-laws. Luckily for Vidya, none of this was an issue. Things have changed for good for Vidya Balan after the wedding. In a conversation with IDiva, Vidya Balan had talked about her in-laws and had said:

"Because we do not live in a joint family, we do not come in each other’s spaces. I have gained a family, and so has he. My father-in-law is the most accepting person. They say a girl always looks for her father in her man. I will add that I have that even in my father-in-law. My mother-in-law is a professional, she is encouraging and enthusiastic. In a joint family when you share the same space or kitchen, it can become contentious. But, there is no scope for that with us."
