Vidya Balan’s a romantic, and she does admit to sounding corny! The actress, who was in Delhi recently, said if she ever wrote a romance, SRK or Salman would star in it.

Five years into the industry and you’ve got an ardent fan and future director in MF Husain…
I know that Husainsaab wants to narrate a script to me, but it depends on when we meet. Because I’d probably travel to London or one such place, where we could meet and discuss. Right now, we haven’t met because I had a slightly hectic schedule and so did he. But there’s no question of starting this September, like it’s being reported, because we’ve not even met. I’ve spoken to him on the phone, though.
