Vidya Balan aka Shakuntala Devi decodes mysteries of Abhishek Bachchan's Breathe: Into the Shadows

Vidya Balan, who donned the hat of the math wizard Shakuntala Devi in Amazon Prime Video’s biographical drama of the same name, is seen in a video using her mathematical prowess to decode the mysteries of the Amazon Original Series Breathe: Into the Shadows that stars Abhishek Bachchan, Nithya Menen and Amit Sadh.

Demystifying the general thought of ‘who uses math in real life’, Vidya decoded Siya’s kidnapping scene in no time. During the investigation, it is revealed that the kidnapper blocked the view of the CCTV with helium-filled balloons. While many of us were left bewildered, Vidya revealed that it is possible if the balloons are filled with a certain amount of volume of air, the man’s height is 6’4”.

Furthermore, Vidya decoded many other mysteries and explained that everything can be revealed by calculations, including the velocity of Kabir Sawant’s slap as well as how Abhishek Bachchan as Dr Avinash dodged the cameras by being invisible at the right angles.

However, there’s one thing that even Vidya couldn't figure out - what is the mystery behind “C-16”?

Now that’s a puzzle that had the math wizard stumped!
