Vibha Chibber feels actors should be judged based on their skills

TRYST WITH SPORT Vibha Chibber
After “Chak De India’s” success, the media’s entire focus has been on girls and the coach, but few have written about Vibha Chibber who played the assistant coach to Shah Rukh Khan in the film.
A graduate of the National School Drama, Vibha has been a known name in the theatre circuit. “I believe a section of the media goes by face value. Actors should be judged on the basis of acting skills and body language,” says Vibha, now playing the central role of a prejudiced mother in Bidaai on Star Plus, who doesn’t like her adopted daughter because she is fairer than her own daughter.
“Terms like dusky beauty have found acceptance only in elite circles, but in middle-class families in small towns the colour of the skin is still a criterion for selecting brides. So I won’t call Kaushalya (her role in the serial) a negative character. It brings out the pain of a mother in a subtle manner.”
Talking about her personal experience, Vibha says her grandmother was very fair. “I used to hear similar comments from the neighbourhood, as my daughter faces in the serial. Thank god, my family has had a progressive mindset.”
Vibha will soon be seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s “Saawariya.” “ It’s a small but challenging role.”
