We’ve never really seen doctors partying the way they did recently.

The occasion was a national conference on infertility and having a party for the venture were doctors Nandita Palshetkar, Hrishikesh and Rishma Pai and Sanjay Gupte. Gary Richardson was the early bird of the evening. Abha Singh and YP Singh were party hopping and came straight from a wedding. Madhusudan Kumar was partying till the wee hours and so was Umaesh Pherwani. The party also saw others like Viren Shah, Ankur Nayyar and Parag Tyagi, Brinda Parekh and Kavita Rathore. It was the next morning that Vidya Balan and MP Sanjay Patil kickstarted the occasion by speaking about various aspects of medicine. Many international and national experts shared their experiences on different aspects of infertility and human reproduction.

We last saw Vidya in Ishquiya ushering in a sexual progressiveness without much ado and also in Paa where she begets a child sans wedlock. Portraying a bold image of a woman onscreen certainly demands her opinion on premarital sex.

The latest and most hyped cat fight in the tinsel town is between Rani Mukherji and Vidya Balan. The duo reportedly has been shooting for their next film, No one killed Jessica. With both being together, the two seemed to exchange a lot cold vibes in between them.

And apart from that, Rani prefers to spend time talking to her mom through phone and Vidya loves being engrossed in one of the books she is interested in. Rumours has it that Vidya and Rani started to exchange unpleasant gestures after Vidya’s favourite designer, Sabyasachi Mukherjee, signed up Rani for his directorial debut instead of herself.

In her most recent outing in front of the Indian public, Vidya takes a slight risk that works rather well for her. The bright colours and old fashioned hair (wig, right?) is quite fetching on the student. The examiners appreciate her minimal jewellery and the courage it must take her to steer clear of the net and velvet creations that are such a rage these days. They would like to take this opportunity to give a nod of approval to the student and move on to her assignment.

vidya-balan3Vidya has won rave reviews for her splendid performance in Paa and people are excited about her bold and wicked turn in Ishqiya. She has signed on to play Sabrina Lal, Jessica Lal’s sister in the film, No One Killed Jessica.

The film is directed by Aamir director Rajkumar Gupta. He saw her in Paa and zeroed in on her for the role. The casting of Sabrina Lal was preventing the movie from taking off. It is a very substantial and intense role as the character of Sabrina Lal fights against the system to avenge her sister’s murder which happened in 1999. She was shot by Manu Sharma, a politician’s son.

Vidya Balan talks about Paa

vidya-balan21Talking about my role in the film there are a couple of things, one I play a gynaecologist in the film so I actually and met up with a gynaecologist, and found out what are the routine questions that patients usually ask, the problems that people usually have and what are your responses. The best part was that she was sweet enough to help me and let me sit in on her appointments and the patients too were sweet enough to let me sit in. Besides that they also allowed me to check their BP and I actually tried it out on them. Then I also used the heart beat machine just to hear the heart beat of the kids, so it was thrilling experience and thankfully the patients didn’t mind it. So that was part of the gynaecologist.
