Riding high on the success of her last film ‘Paa’, Bollywood actress Vidya Balan celebrated her birthday away from the spotlight, in the backwaters of Kerala.

The southern beauty , born on January 1, ringed in her 32nd birthday with a small party attended by a few close friends and family.

“Vidya Balan left for Kerala to spend her birthday and the New Year with her family and friends. It was a close knit affair. Great food, pleasant music and good conversation ruled the party,” a source close to the actress said.

Balan will next be seen playing a villainous seductress in ‘Ishqiya’ opposite Naseeruddin Shah and Arshad Warsi.
