Ever since her last two releases have been declared superhits at the BO, actor Vidya Balan is seen enjoying every bit of this phase. But unlike others, the bootilicious Vidya attributes a part of her successto the city of joy, Kolkata. The actor finds a strange affinity to Kolkata, even though she's a Mumbai born-and-bred South Indian. She plans to direct a film as a tribute to the Bengali city. "I want to make a Bengali film based on Kolkata soon. It will be the city from my perspective— a city with an unique charmand I want to capture all that on camera and show the world."
The actress, who is currently enjoying every bit of her stardom — from being mobbed to doing a lavani based item number, has come a long way.For someone who was ticked off for being fat, Vidya is now seen as a girl who brought the curves back into fashion. Vidya recalls, "I used to be called names by people. I was also told by many that I must do something to lose my curves and become Size Zero!"
After a pause, she furthers adds, "I don't understand why do we Indian women obsess about being Size Zero rather than fit. We are called exotic beauties the world over, as curves are our USP. Why do we forget we have an Indian frame? I'mall for the Indian woman's curvaceous body. Besides, the fact is I'm very happy the way I am. And I don't think I'll try letgo off my curves unless a film demands it."
