She certainly has no issues about it. While the promos are already looking steamy enough, Vidya Balan is sitting back and enjoying the turn of events. The lady has locked lips with Arshad Warsi in Abhishek Chaubey’s Ishqiya, and rubbishes the rumours of refusing the kissing scene. The actress who earlier had her screen moments with Saif Ali Khan and Madhavan says, “If I was not convinced to do the kissing scene I wouldn’t have done it. I am not at all ashamed of it as an actor. I have done it with all honesty.” However the Parineeta girl confesses that she was a bit hesitant while shooting it. “How can you be comfortable shooting a kissing scene when there is hundred pair of eyes watching you!” I had told Abhishek to have very few people on the sets on the day we shot the kissing scene. There was just Arshad, the director, the cameraman and a sound guy present on the sets at the time of the scene.” That’s smart! In the meantime, Arshad Warsi is quite kicked about his role in the film. Ask him if Babban will be as memorable as Circuit and he says, “I don’t know. I hadn’t thought that about Circuit too. It was a role that I did. It’s a nice character. I loved the story and more than that I loved the film’s and Abhishek Chaubey’s sensibility.” The cuts are great, and he sure had fun, “There is a bullet shot and freeze and next cut dono kabar main bethe huye hain. I like those kinds of films. This is good filmmaking. The guy says tumhari aakhri khwahish kya hai so the other one says ‘mujhe ek chutkula sunana hai,” he snatches moments from the film. As for the director, “Abhishek is so young and so good….but the sad part is that post this film he’ll risk being typecast.” We’ll see that. the film releases on January 29.
