After superstars Amitabh Bachchan and Salman Khan, actress Vidya Balan has come out in defense of the Aamir Khan starrer 3 Idiots, saying that it does not encourage students to commit suicide.

“The film 3 Idiots gives out a message to the society that the rat race for higher grades has no meaning in life and the important thing is acquiring knowledge,” Balan who is in Indore to promote her film Ishqiya told reporters.
She said that suicide depicted in the film is not a “suggestion”, but a “reflection of the society”. Balan said that it is a matter of concern that large number of students commit suicide due to the pressure of studies.
“They end their lives at an age they should start dreaming about it,” she said.

Vidya Balan has faced so much criticism for her fashion sense in the past that she has turned extremely cautious and wary about what she wears. She is glad that her outfits in Paa and Ishqiya were appreciated. And the appreciation is courtesy the outfits by designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee.
She is now so fond of Sabyasachi that she has got him to work with her even for Rajkumar Gupta’s No One Killed Jessica. She also realizes that she can carry Indian outfits better than western ones. That is why; she has decided to stick to the Indian look even in her films. And as her role doesn’t require her to dress western, she is only too happy to oblige.

Close to a decade and a half after his last directorial effort HU TU TU (Tabu, Nana Patekar, Suneil Shetty), there are talks that acclaimed film maker Gulzar would be returning to wielding the megaphone once again for a film with Vidya Balan being the central protagonist. With decades of experience behind him and some author backed characters that he has lent to veteran actors like Hema Malini, Jaya Bhaduri and Rekha in the past, Gulzar has seemingly set his eyes on Vidya Balan who is pretty much in the same league as far as an actor with a substance is concerned.

Vidya Balan will be seen in an ultra-sensuous and bold character named Krishna in Vishal Bhardwaj’s Ishqiya. The character is poles-apart from her shy Parineeta image. The actress has used abusive language, got drunk and locked lips with Arshad Warsi in the film and says she loved every bit of her character.

Vidya Balan exclaims with enthusiasm, “Somebody thought of casting me in this role after writing it which was a huge thrill for me. It feels nice to get a character like this for an actor like me who has a certain image. I must confess this was my finest role till date.”

Bollywood beauty Vidya Balan is receiving compliments for her sensuous look in ace photographer Dabboo Ratnani’s calendar for 2010. Vidya has gone bold for Dabboo’s new calendar.
And if you want to credit Dabboo for Vidya’s sensuous streak, let’s tell you that he had shot Bong beauty Riya Sen in a similar pose for his calendar last year.
Have a look at both the pictures. Both Riya Sen and Vidya Balan are sporting the same sensuous pose. Both the pictures are shot in black and white. The only difference is Vidya’s sporting fur while Riya’s long locks are covering her assets.

The actress recently confirmed that she has met with the acclaimed director to discuss the possibility of playing Rani Mukerji’s sister in the film. Balan is reportedly very excited at the prospect of working with Mehta – especially given a previous attempt at collaboration a couple of years ago with a project titled Stella fell through – and though no role is confirmed yet, has put on record her statement that she “would love to work with her [Mehta]”.

When an outstanding iconic figure like Vidya Balan is overthrowned by a younger actor like Asin is really a hard news to swallow.

As the Bollywood industry knows that Vidya Balan is the first choice in any director’s list is quite shocking to hear that she has been replaced. But there is reasonable answer to why things had happened so because Bhansali was continuously delaying the project that apparently erupted Vidya’s patience.
Evidently when Balan thought to quit Bhansali had no choice but replace Asin in her place and the same case even happened with Harman Baweja who was replaced by John Abraham.
This is a preview of Asin Thottumkal Wins a Pricy Piece From Vidya Balan . Read the full post (131 words, 1 image, estimated 31 secs reading time)
