Why is Vidya wooing Salman Khan?

July 30th, 2010

There is no dearth of actresses who don’t have Salman Khan on their wish list of actors they want to work with. And the sexy seductress Vidya Balan is no different. We hear the actress, who is herself on the wish list of every actor in tinsel ville, is desperate to romance the hottest hunk Salman, on-screen of course.

Apparently, the actress is going around declaring that Salman’s like the quintessential lover and she wants to do a romantic role with him. While complimenting Salman is fine, Vidya’s act is being seen by many as too hard an effort to attract his attention. However, with Salman now sticking to doing films with fresh and young faces like Sonam, Ayesha, Sonakshi and Asin, we wonder if Vidya stands a chance!

Vidya Balan who is constantly busy with her movie and other commitments is finding it difficult to spend some quality time with her family.
Vidya has been travelling to and from Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata continuously for her shoots for No One Killed Jessica. This has been leaving her with very little time to spend with her family, who in turn are very upset with her. The actress is now planning to take her parents to an unknown destination for a leisure holiday.
Reveals a source close to her, “Vidya has been so busy with her professional commitments that she has had little time to spend with her family. She is a very family-oriented person and has promised them a relaxed holiday.”
If sources are to be believed it’s a place that the family often visits and Vidya has made sure that there are no distractions while she spends some quality time with her family. Whatever she decides, we hope Vidya gets the time to bond with her family, given how closeknit the family is. This is one holiday the Balans will surely be looking forward to, no matter how upset they are.

There was a recent survey on a website that said Vidya Balan was the most appropriate bride for Rahul Gandhi.

When we asked Vidya what she has to say and she smiles, “If that happens, I won’t wave at people. I’ll just raise The Hand! But seriously, I’m not thinking of marriage right now, though I believe in the institution.

It’s not even on the agenda because I haven’t met anyone who has inspired that in me. First, I need to be with someone for a while and have some romance without the bindings of marriage.”

Mahie Gill, who will be in town to play the love interest of Naseeruddin Shah in Ribhu Dasgupta’s Michael, tells TOI that she shouldn’t be compared to Ishqiya’s Vidya Balan

You’ve been paired opposite Naseeruddin Shah in Michael…
He is a great actor and one of my favourites. Right from Masoom to A Wednesday!, I’ve been following all his movies. Amazing is the word that I can use to describe him. One of the biggest compliments that I received for Dev D came from him when he said that he liked my work. I was supposed to do another film with him titled Surmaiyee Shaam. I had met him twice for that film. It was to be directed by Brahmanand Singh but the film isn’t happening anyone. Thank God, Ribhu cast me in Michael. I can even play an extra with Naseer Sir. But then, I’m nervous.

Actor Vidya Balan has acted in two back-to-back movies that deal with the sensitive subject of sex that has been handled in two different ways.

In the case of Paa, she played a single mother who had premarital sex and had the courage to keep the baby rather than aborting it, and in Ishqiya, she plays a conniving woman used her seduction to take revenge. Vidya says if she feels convinced, as an actor, she would go even further bold on-screen.
