Vidya Balan, who made an award-winning debut in ‘Parineeta’, a movie that premiered at the IIFA weekend a few years ago, continued her magical journey with the event by landing the Best Actress award for ‘Paa’. Though she shared the award with Kareena Kapoor, Balan was overjoyed, but noticeably absent from the celebrations in Sri Lanka. Shlandra Bunseelall spoke to the powerhouse performer.

One would surely wonder that what forces actress Vidya Balan to make back on back fashion disaster in the public events. In the past too, Vidya has been lashed out for her bad dressing sense post her ‘Kismat Connection’ release.

Vidya was left totally in tears when at an awards night Shah Rukh and Saif awarded the actress for being the worst dressed women of the industry. But even such incidents failed to improve her dressing style a bit.

Vidya Balan is happy. She is enjoying yet another success in the form of PAA, hence adding one more feather in her cap when it comes to performance oriented roles. No wonder she believes that she is fortunate to have worked in the kind of films that have not just challenged her as an actor but also time and again validated her decision making abilities.

Ever since she made her debut with Parineeta, Vidya Balan has worked with many a veteran filmmakers like Vidhu Vinod Chopra (Eklavya – The Royal Guard), Mani Ratnam (Guru), Priyadarshan (Bhool Bhulaiyaa), Raj Kumar Santoshi (Halla Bol) and Aziz Mirza (Kismat Konnection). Meanwhile, she has also worked with first time directors like Pradeep Sarkar (Parineeta) and Sajid Khan (Heyy Babyy) as well as one film old Raj Kumar Hirani (Lagey Raho Munnabhai) or Nikhil Advani (Salaam E Ishq).

Buzz up!
This is why, when she interacted with someone like Balki (who only has a Cheeni Kum behind him), what sort of change in approach did she see in them?

She’s had a steady run, though she’s not made the superstar grade. Beginning with “Parineeta” (2005), she’s made an impact with both “Lage Raho Munnabhai” (2006) and “Bhool Bhulaiya” (2007) and has in her bag films as assorted as “Eklavya,” “Salaam-e-Ishq,” “Halla Bol,” “Guru,” “Heyy Babyy” and “Kismat Konnection.” Today, Vidya Balan has what can be considered “twin towers” on hand in terms of meaty roles — “Paa,” releasing Dec. 4, and “Ishqiya” in the following week.

Vidya Balan is compensating for lack of skin show by smooching on screen. She kissed Rishi madhavan passionately in Guru, and now, in her upcoming film Ishqiya she has a scene with Arshad Warsi.

The actress who is desperate for a hit has gone the whole hog in this Vishal Bharadwaj film. She is not only kissing and exposing herself, Vidya has also done a negative character in the film.

Indeed a film to watch out for multiple reasons!

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’.

She might have begun her career as the dove eyed down-to-earth actress. But, it seems Vidya has realized that Bollywood has little to offer to a heroine who doesn’t become part of the public fantasy. Now, in order to charm her audiences, Vidya is desperately looking for an image change. Unlike before, the actress now has no qualms enacting steamy scenes and recently she did a kissing scene with Arshad Warsi for the upcoming film ISHQIYA and termed the experience as fantastic.
