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.

Recently, Vidya Balan was reported to be Kolkata with the team Rajkumar Gupta’s No One Killed Jessica. She was there for 2-day schedule that were to be shot with secret cameras in prominent public places where security is scarce.
The team has to shoot in crowded locations like Kolkata airport, Park Circus, Ballyganj, and New Market. As it is known fact that the crowds in these places are impossible to control they had placed the cameras secretly.
The actress would then get into camera range and before the general public recognize her, the team would move. Had Rani been along it would have been difficult to control the beserk going crowd. Director shares that it was tougher to shoot in Kolkata than in Delhi but had been a fun.

Vidya Balan made a surprise visit to Kolkata on Friday to shoot for Rajkumar Gupta’s No One Killed Jessica.

On Friday, Vidya shot indoors at Debi Roy’s house. On Saturday, the action shifted to Esplanade from where Vidya took a tram ride to Park Circus.

Speaking about the shoot, a unit member said, “Vidya plays a reporter in the film. In her search for the murderer, she lands in Kolkata. The indoor shots are of her in a house, which she suspects belongs to the murderer. On Saturday, we shot portions of her taking a tram ride. Since her character is new to the city, we have canned shots of her taking a tram ride, walking down an alley close to New Market and visiting the Maidan.”

The back-to-back success of Paa and Ishqiya have shifted focus from Vidya Balan’s weight, challenged sense of style and love life to the prodigal histrionic talent that she packs.

Understandably, Balan is both pleased and relieved.

“I think I was trying to be someone else and trying to fit into a mould which people were not accepting. I’m grateful to those criticisms about my weight, dressing sense because I realized that I was trying to forcefully do something. I realized I just have to be myself,” she told DNA.

After Madhuri Dixit, Tabu and Amrita Rao, MF Husain has found a new muse. The 94–year-old artist has reportedly watched Ishqiya (2010) 12 times already — he had earlier seen Dixit’s Hum Aapke Hain Kaun…! (1994) 70 times—and is fida over the gorgeous Vidya Balan. He wants to paint her and wants her in his next directorial venture.

The actress admits that they have spoken and Husain has been extremely generous with his compliments. “I was so overwhelmed when I heard this, I remember reading about him painting Madhuri years ago. And a painting by Husain saab would immortalise me, though I don’t know how to react to the word ‘gorgeous’,” Balan laughs.
