Vidya Balan is currently in London shooting for her highly-anticipated movie on the human computer Shakuntala Devi. Recently, the actress was invited by Imperial College to address the students who idolise the powerhouse performer for her exemplary body of work and for being one of the finest actors of the Hindi film industry. The organisers requested Vidya to grace the occasion as India’s leading youth icon, as they believed her words of encouragement shall have a lasting impact on the students.

Taking time out from her busy shooting schedule, Vidya honoured her commitment and interacted with over 100 students at the college. She was also presented with the ‘Youth Icon’ award at the ceremony, as she had the students in splits with her wit and amazing sense of humour.

The actress got emotional while addressing the students in the same college where the late mathematics genius was given her biggest recognition and award — Guinness Book of World Records!
