Mumbai, Jan 1 (IBNS): Bollywood actress Vidya Balan, who often enjoys the status of being the 'hero' of her films, turned 37 years on Thursday.

She was spotted enjoying a night out with her husband Siddharth Roy Kapur on Tuesday at a high-end suburban restaurant in the city ahead of his birthday, said reports.

On her birthday, actor Prosenjit Chatterjee posted a picture of him and Vidya on Twitter and wished: "Wish you a many many happy returns of this day..God bless..our very own #Vidya Ballan.."

Vidya aspired to a career in films from a young age and had her first acting role in the 1995 popular sitcom 'Hum Paanch'.

The actress, who marked her presence at the very onset of her career in films with 'Parineeta', has bagged one National award, five Filmfare awards and five Screen awards.

She has been acclaimed for her acting skills as well as for her capacity to break stereotypes, which Vidya has proven time and again in films such as 'Lage Raho Munna Bhai', 'Paa', 'Ishqiya', 'No One Killed Jessica', 'The Dirty Picture', and 'Kahaani'.

She has also acted in comedy genres such as 'Heyy Babyy' (2007), Kismat Konnection (2008) and  'Ghanchakkar'.

Vidya is also a social activist and supports the cause of empowerment of women that eventually gets portrayed on-screen, where she has managed to carve a niche in a territory dominated by male actors.

She will be next seen in 'Dhamaal 2'.
