Having lost 4 inches from the top and 3 from the waist Vidya will be saying goodbye too outfits by Sabysachi, Priyadarshini Rao and Abu Sandeep.

She stepped in as a girl-next-door in a family comedy serial ‘Hum Paanch’. Then she slowly started taking the Bollywood steps. With each movie, we saw a different Vidya emerging every time on-screen. Try how much ever; she is not able to shed her homely looks and coy image. She tried her hand at glamour roles but was met with fashion goof-ups and that proved that sexy tag is not her cuppa. Now she is back in de-glam role with Vishal Bhardwaj’s ‘Ishqiya’.

‘Ishqiya’ is a directorial debut of Abhishek Chaubey and produced by Raman Maroo and Vishal Bharadwaj. The movie has Vidya Balan, Arshad Warsi and Naseeruddin Shah. Going by the trailers, Vidya is playing a simple village belle but has tried some ‘bold’ scenes in the movie. She is featured to be doing steamy scenes with Arshad Warsi and also rumoured to play darker shades in this one.

Now this is something scorchy for Vidya fans! She had surprised us before with a hot lip-lock scene in ‘Guru’ with Madhavan. Now here, a kissy scene with Arshad is really an unexpected one!
