<p>National Award winning actress Vidya Balan, who has delivered power-packed performances in films like "The Dirty Picture" and "Kahaani", says she's glad she has received offers to feature in several women-oriented projects out of the few that Bollywood makes.<br /><br /></p>.<p>"It's the era...writers are writing interesting scripts for the female actors and people are ready to invest in them. But still, 95 percent of the films are a stereotypical representation of women, and (I would say) 5 percent of (different women-oriented films) are being made.<br /><br />"I'm happy that three percent of it are coming to me," the 36-year-old said here in a group interaction.<br /><br />Vidya received accolades and acclaim for choosing movies like "The Dirty Picture" and "Kahaani" in which she essayed strong female protagonists, but she credits the people behind the scene.<br /><br />"The actor gets most of the credit because films are a visual medium. I did those films, but there were some people who were investing and writing such films and directing such films. Obviously, the time is right and I came in (into films) during the right time," she added.<br /><br />Vidya is currently busy promoting her forthcoming entertainer "Bobby Jasoos", in which she plays a detective.<br /><br />Talking about it, the actress said: "I don't know whether five years back we could have done a story like this. She is a fun girl. This is not just a detective film. Pure detective films get a little heavy.<br /><br />"It's a journey of that detective, so there is a human story to it. It's got drama and comedy in it. She is learning on the job and there is a child-like enthusiasm in her."<br /><br />Directed by Samar Sheikh, the film is produced by Dia Mirza and Sahil Sangha's banner Born Free Entertainment.<br /></p>
