Do you think, actor John Abraham is a gay icon?  well atleast vidya balan has different point of view.

His latest role in Dostana in which he strips down to his bare minimum, has found not only many takers among his females fans, but also has men – especially those from the gay community.

The community is really glad to his bare body. And John has been given the tag of being the new gay icon by the community.

And guess what? John doesn’t find it the least offending, and neither his lady love Bipasha has any objections to it.

Vidya Balan might look really odd with young heroes like Shahid Kapur but she continues to bag biggie films with a period feel or where the heroine is supposed to look Indian. And yeah, what she’s best suited to – matured heroes!

She’s starring with Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan in Raj Kumar Santoshi’s ‘Jis Lahore Nahin Dekhya Woh Jamiya Nahin.’

Thankfully she’ll be playing Sanjay Dutt’s wife in the film and isn’t the romantic interest of youngster Neil Nitin Mukesh who’s the third lead!

Matured actress Vidya Balan might look really odd with young heroes like Shahid Kapur,Imran Khan etc but she continues to bag biggie films with a period feel or where the heroine is supposed to look Indian. And yeah, what she’s best suited to -matured heroes!

She’s starring with mature bollywood actors like Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan in Raj Kumar Santoshi’s upcoming movie ‘Jis Lahore Nahin Dekhya Woh Jamiya Nahin.’

Well history was made yesterday, no I’m not alluding to the successful launch of the Chandryaan mission, but to the fact that CNN IBN featured a half hour special on all the scientists involved in the mission. Why history? because it was probably the longest, unbridled footage of South Indians on mainstream television, since well, Kamal Hassan sang mere jeevan sathi, to serenade Rati Agnihotri in Ek Dooje Ke liya on Doordarshan (as an aside, should I get myself examined because I actually remember this thing??) . I’m not kidding about this. All the scientists that were featured were South Indians and no where in this footage did people make fun of the way South Indians spoke, walked, danced, oiled their hair etc etc. To say, I was stunned would be an understatement. I was infact most suspicious of the whole thing and was quite sure that a Sardarji would pop out in the end and say chak de phatte and make fun of the way “madrasees” ate pappads or washed their bums or whatever mannerism of ours that people find peculiar, even if it was rocket science that we were talking about.

Sanjay Dutt-Salman Khan starrer Raj Kumar Santoshi’s adaptation of Asghar Wajahat’s play Jis Lahore Nahin Dekhya Woh Jamiya Nahin won’t be shot in Lahore, as originally planned. Now Santoshi will recreate Lahore in Hyderabad.

Santoshi confirmed and said, “Shooting in Lahore seems impractical. Primarily because we may not get the architecture of the partition times any more. So Nitish Roy is building Lahore in Hyderabad for us. Every lane, bylane, the transportation, the electric wires will be recreated. Our set will look more like Lahore than Lahore itself.”

Naseeruddin Shah courts Vidya Balan in Vishal Bharadwaj’s next, Ishqiya; is losing weight and dyeing his hair to do so.

Naseeruddin Shah is all set to look 18 years younger for debutant director Abhishek Choubey’s Ishqiya, produced by Vishal Bharadwaj.

So far, in real life, he has refused to dye his hair or beard but for the film he is really getting adventurous - because he has to woo a much-younger Vidya Balan.

To look like an eligible suitor for Vidya, Naseer has gone for a leaner look, shaved off his beard and dyed his hair.

Here is a lesser known fact about Vidya Balan. The versatile actress has a benevolent side to her. Invariably, every morning on her way from her Chembur residence, Vidya makes it a point to stop at the Sion traffic signal and chat with eunuchs and dole out clothes and medicines.

Not just that, if they want to be dropped at the next signal or any other destination which is on her way, she does not hesitate before asking them to hop into her car.

According to an eyewitness, “Vidya has no qualms about giving them a lift in her vehicle. She is equally kind to the beggars.”

Madhavan, the sweet chocolate boy, Maddy for young girls, says that there is no secret relationship between him and actress Vidya Balan.

Madhavan says in an interview, “There is no secret relationship between us. She is my close friend… thats all… Our onscreen chemistry is working out well in all our films. Now also we are working together in a Hindi film…”

Replying to a question about his next release in Tamil, he told, “Guru En Aalu is my next release. Actually the film was planned for Deepavali but after reviewing the situation, the producer has postponed it for another two weeks.”
