Mumbai: Patralekha, who is being appreciated for her performance in soon to be released Hansal Mehta's CityLights, sees actress Vidya Balan as her inspiration.
"I am very inspired by Vidya ma'am. I have been watching her, following her work ever since I watched her in Parineeta," the newcomer said here at the screening of her film CityLights.
