Mumbai: Vivek Oberoi feels women keen to empower themselves and be successful should take inspiration from actress Vidya Balan, who has set an example for others with her journey.
Vidya's career graph has been interesting - after making an impressive Bollywood debut with period love story 'Parineeta' in 2005, she made an unsuccessful transition to glamorous roles with 'Heyy Babyy' and 'Kismat Konnection'. She was declared down and out.
