"My past three films did not work. The thought did cross my mind as to whether my marriage did impact (my career)," Balan said during a talk at the ongoing Women Economic Forum here.
"But I think the success of a film has to do with whether the movie is good or not. There are also multiple variables that contribute for the success of the film," she said.
She said it is a wrong notion that actresses after marriage can't make a successful career. "There are a lot of actresses who have got married and are successful," she said naming veterans like Kajol, Kareena Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

Balan said that after she met Siddharth, she could imagine spending rest her my life with him.
