Actress Vidya Balan, who is generally tied up with film shootings and promotions or brand endorsements, admits that she is selfish about "me time".

"When I am working, I am selfish about my 'me time' every night, before going to bed. Just some time to unwind. Whether it's talking to family or writing my diary or listening to music or doing nothing, it's something that helps to relax me," Vidya told IANS.

The 35-year-old will be seen on the big screen next year with actor-filmmaker Farhan Akhtar in "Shaadi ke Side Effects". She also recently lent her voice for the character of Draupadi in the animation film "Mahabharat".

Adil Hussain doesn't let money dominate decisions

Actor Adil Hussain, who has acted with films like "English Vinglish" and "Ishqiya", considers his family to be important. But he doesn't let the need to run his house to take over his decision while choosing films.

"I am open to any interesting role. But the script needs to be well crafted and role should be challenging also. But you need time to work too. Sometimes, you need to think of family," Adil, who likes to cook for his wife and son, told IANS.

"Do you have enough money to run the family? We need to balance the whole thing. But I don't allow money to dominate my decisions," he added.

He is currently busy with movies like "Feast Of Varanasi" and "Sunrise".
