| Even my dress sense made headlines'- Vidya Balan By Webmaster, 26 June, 2008 |
 Vidya Balan's eyes brim over with mischief when you ask her about the rumours surrounding her.The look on her face has got nothing to do with what the make-up man is trying to do to it. "Even my dress sense or the supposed lack of it can make headlines," she laughs. "Maybe those who wrote those things about me had nothing else to write about. And I will not blame them. I had been talking about the same films and same stuff for too long. But now, I have a release coming up, I am doing a couple of films, so can everyone please concentrate on my career?" she asks. But we wanted this interview to be a sort of 'un-rumouring' the rumours surrounding her. So, career baad mein! Shahid first. Vidya rolls her eyes, and the make-up man gives up trying to apply mascara. "There is no truth to any of the rumours concerning me and Shahid. He's a co-star, someone with whom I share a mind-blowing chemistry on screen. And no, the rumours of our affair are not attention grabbing gimmicks to hype up our film either. So, I have learnt to take these things as an occupational hazard. If the rumours were true, well, I wouldn't have screamed from rooftops, but yes, I wouldn't have kept it clandestine either," admits Vidya candidly. But, if they are untrue, didn't the rumours cause friction between Shahid and her? "No. There are no any such barriers. In fact, on the sets, we used to get along very well. That could be another reason why the rumours flew thick and fast," clarifies Vidya. But why's Vidya talking in past tense? "Because the film's over, and while we do acknowledge each other's presence, Shahid and I aren't bumchums or anything." On to another topic, then. Can't you dance, Vidya? "Now, where did that come from?" Well, we heard that for a certain sequence, you took a lot of takes. Her laughter could have floored anyone. "I know. There was even a count – 25 or something," she says. "Yes, it was a complex shot, with difficult steps. I was not familiar with the format, so, I took a few extra takes. But, I am not apologetic! I've heard Charlie Chaplin sometimes used to take 200 takes. Does that make him any less of an actor?" At this point, her make-up man decides "memsaab late ho rahi hai", so, we leave Vidya to finish her make-up, and enjoy her day out with Radio Mirchi. https://filmicafe.com/news_detail.php?news_id=6381 |
