Is one of the things Ashley Rebello intends to do in the near future. So what if others of his ilk are yet to begin work on film projects they were to take up?

Manish Malhotra and Vikram Phadnis’s directorial ventures are still up in the air, but that hasn’t deterred Ashley Rebello from wanting to make his film. After working with Vidya Balan for over a year and a half on product endorsements, Ashley plans to direct her in a film in the near future. Calling it an extension of his creative personality, he’s quite kicked about filmmaking.

After three years of cold war between actress Vidya Balan and fashion designer Manish Malhotra, both have now ironed out their differences as Vidya attended Manish’s show at the ongoing Couture Week in Delhi. This time Vidya surprised all by turning up for Malhotra’s show at the event.

Vidya, who had publicly spoken against the designer after she was panned by critics for her look in the movie ‘Heyy Babyy’, had rubbed the leading designer in a wrong way.

Does she mean to say Indian traditional attires lack femininity? Vidya Balan is shedding her behen- ji image and turning into a boho chic in P Balki’s Paa.

The actress is quoted as saying, “I don’t like Indian asexual clothing. I love outfits that look feminine…. My western look in Paa is fun and casually thrown together stuff – somewhat like I am in real life.” Vidya now finds the European way of dressing more comfortable, feminine as well as sensual. But the lady ought to remember that being boho will not suit her every time.

CNN-IBN spotted a slim-and-trim Vidya Balan launching a skin care product in Mumbai on Saturday afternoon and the actress seems to have gone in for a wardrobe overhaul.

Sporting a red and black salwar kameez, the lady seemed far from the icon of fashion disasters that she once was.

Vidya will next be seen with the Bachchans in Pa and the actress seemed particularly impressed with the Big B’s look in the film.

“I just couldn’t believe my eyes. He just transforms with every character when he comes on screen. And yet he is Amitabh Bachchan. So the combination was amazing to watch as I shot with him,” she says.

Rumours are rippling through the hills of Mumbai suggesting that Yash Chopra himself has approached Vidya Balan to star opposite Aamir Khan in a love story that will hit the floors early next year aimed for a heavily-promoted Diwali release. It’s a sign of Vidya’s growing stature in the industry that she seems able to be walk effortlessly from a Bachchan project – Pa – into such a prominent project.

Meanwhile, Vidya has dropped her stylist Manish Malhotra for Sabayachi, the one the cast used for Pa. “Sabya has styled my look in Pa,” she explains, “It’s a very organic look. But organic or ayurvedic, I am all for it.”

The chapter of feud between Vidya Balan and designer Manish Malhotra is closed. The actress and the designer patched up recently.

Both had stopped talking to each other after Manish’s so-called “botched up” work of styling Vidya in movie Heyy Babyy . The movie did fairly well at the box office but Vidya was criticized for her dresses.

Then, the row continued as Vidya blamed Manish for giving her bad look. In fact, the lady has hit out at the designer on several occasions; the final blow came during the last year’s Filmfare Awards, when she mentioned Manish’s name on stage. That miffed Manish so much that the designer lashed at her some very blunt, sarcastic and stinging comments.

It seems like Vidya Balan is dead serious to shut up her detractors for good. The charming actress may have delivered considerable hits but she’s always managed to get the flak for her dressing sense.

Never has there been a time when she’s worn something and hasn’t been criticised for it. The last time Manish tried to dress her up for Heyy Babyy, the poor girl won a ‘Nariyal Award’ at the Filmfares. But it seems like Vidya has taken the criticism in the right spirit.

From what I am told, Vidya Balan has hired Sabina Khan to design her new look. This brave designer has taken over from Manish Malhotra.

Mumbai, June 16: Although, she is yet to bag an award for her ‘so called’ appreciated performances but actress Vidya Balan surely tops the charts of a much dreaded poll – the one for the worst dressed celebrity.

The dusky beauty has been unanimously crowned her as the worst dressed celebrity by Bollywood’s top stylists.

And looks like Vidya did not have to work hard to earn this feared title as the lady as she had been all along making news for her infamous sense of style. Be it her on-screen dress style in ‘Heyy Baby’ or her self styled attire at the Filmfare awards, she had been consistently forced people to go booooo!
