Vidya Balan has not agreed to expose for a painting for acclaimed artist M.F. Hussain, says a close friend of the actress.

“The story is fabricated to damage her reputation and it hasn’t gone down well with the actress who has always maintained a dignified stance both in her personal and professional life,” said the friend.
Hussain finds Vidya’s persona especially her face very sensual and cultured and a newspaper reported that she will bare all for his painting.

But Vidya, who will feature in Ekta Kapoor’s “Dirty Pictures”, has always maintained she would take up projects only with an aesthetic sense.

“The news is absolutely hysterical. We are in the month of February and not April. Vidya has always maintained a dignified image and is one of the most respected stars in the industry. The reports are fabricated by parties with vested interests and if ever Vidya does decide to get a painting done, it will strictly be her face. Hope this puts an end to the speculation,” said the friend.

Both hottie Katrina Kaif and the demure Vidya Balan are two gorgeous women of Bollywood planet riding high on the success their respective careers. While each is ascending the ladders of fame steadfast and hastily, both have hit the fancy of the renowned painter M. F. Hussain.
Yes! After immortalising Madhuri Dixit in his canvas, he is desirous of flicking his brush once more; this time to use his palette of colours to paint the charming temptress Katrina Kaif. Katrina has, hitherto, conquered so many male hearts that it’s no surprise that even the heart of the 90-plus man has been struck by the cupid’s arrow.
Her tremendous acting display in her latest box-office jolter Rajneeti has earned her a place in the good books of the iconic painter. It’s only ironic that her ex flame Salman Khan never got the chance to put her on a canvas (given the fact that Katty’s ex Partner has a profound penchant and passion for painting).
Hussain had also disclosed his longing to give colours to the portrait of Vidya Balan, however, his brush is still awaiting the beauties. Other beauties who have been canvassed by the legendary painter include:
1. Madhuri Dixit (the Dhak Dhak mania got over Hussain too)
2. Tabu (her poise and purity arrested his attention)
3. Urmila Matondkar (the sexy petite gal)
4. And Amrita Rao (the unearthly Indian beauty who created ripples with Vivaah)

Vidya Balan, the uncharacteristic Bollywood beauty is very close to her family. The actress, who makes a point to bring her mom along with her to most award functions, revealed that she is as closely attached to her sister, as she is to her mother. So much so, that Vidya has a special nickname for her sister Priya, whom she sometimes calls her “Second Mom”.

“A lot of my character in Paa was also inspired by Priya who happens to be my second mother. People often tease me saying your mother and sister are so beautiful what happened to you .But then they are also quick to add – after all beauty is as beauty does,” said Vidya.

Interestingly though, Vidya has managed to so impress M F Hussain with her unconventional beauty, that the painter is not only dying to capture the “earthy Indian-ness” of Vidya’s beauty on his canvas, but also looking forward to do his next film with the actress.
