Manish blasts Vidya

Manish blasts Vidya

In the past year, Vidya Balan blamed designer Manish Malhotra on several occasions for her disastrous look in Heyy Babyy. But her statement during the Filmfare awards was the last straw. Now Manish is hitting back.

Says a furious Manish, who is currently in Milan, "In my 17-year career as a designer, never before has any actress made such an issue about it.

She has been blaming me for her bad outfits and I have been quiet for a year. Not any more! Vidya has been talking about me at public events.

She feels I gave her a bad look in Heyy Babyy! Pray what about the make-up, hair and outfit (Abu-Sandeep) she sported at the Filmfare awards? It was something like what people used to wear in the 1980s! And what were those horrible gaudy tassels that were hanging down her dress?" he sneers.

A phone call away

Manish adds sarcastically, "According to her, I screwed up her style. If she thought my styling wasn't right, why didn't she put her foot down or simply call me and say 'Manish, please send something else?'"

"I'm just a phone call away. All I can say is that I am sorry to do this to a huge star like Vidya Balan, India's answer to Paris Hilton with her impeccable dress sense, fabulous carriage and great knowledge of style," says Manish.

The designer is most upset about Vidya's statements that he apologised to her for his botched-up work. He fumes, "I sent her a message saying 'sometimes some clothes don't work on location but maybe we can work together next time' but she told the whole world I apologised to her! And after that story, I haven't called or texted her at all!"

Manish thinks that what Vidya did is in bad taste, "If my clothes don't work, I am just a call away. She hasn't called me even once but gripes about it in public. What she's doing is not in good taste. It's not as if Vidya Balan has always been impeccably turned out. How can she speak about fashion sense with her fantastic figure? Who is she?"

vidya has bad very bad taste its not manish's fault at all
she is behenji ype woman wat he can do na 😆 😆

OMFG is Manish a short feminine middle aged Indian male stylist OR is he a redneck 15 year old high school Grade A *****?

Judging by his words its hard to tell, he talks like a high school mean girl
😆

I can totally imagine him doing a Z snap at Vidya going "ughh that dress is so ugly, get a liposuction girlfriend, and those shoes did you buy them on clearance at Target"

Moderator's Note: Edited for language.

He sure does sound like one , a designer is to stay with the artist ,look how it fits and show how to carry it . Its his design and shes new , I dont blame her or her figure , a designer ought to know how to dress his cleint 😉

What Manish thinks of himself - God!!!. So foolish of him to say such things as it is his duty to make the artist look nice with his clothes irrespective of whether it is Paris Hilton or Vidya Balan. Even without his designer wear 3/4th of the Indian girls look good.

Oh goshh.. i hvn't seen heyy babyy but was Vidya that badly dressed? I thought she looked gd in the promos ? erm erm.. it was a nice sari in the mastkalander song.

i liked vidya's look in heybaby.. don't know what the all fuss & complaining is about. BUT FOR FILMFARE.. SHE LOOKED LIKE A DECKED UP Christmas tree.. she needs to stay away from abujani and sandeep,.. creater of that monster dress 😆 😆 😆

Looks like Vidya is scaring all the designers. 😆 😆 😆 Manish and Abu-Sandeep have become infamous because of her.

Its high time she needs to do something about her weight. How about some ghaas phoos diet tips from Kareena. 😉 😉 😉

👏 Very true she is behenji type woman and looks in her mid/ late 30s. You cannot question Manish M's sense of fashion but we can question hers.

totally agree

manish is acting like a kid 😕

if he is so upset of vidya embarssing him in public well hello he is doing the same thing! 😕 😆 😆

he can go meet her and discuss that what she said wasnt right but to insult the way she looks or her weight is to much
