i made thiss siggy of her...hope u likee itt
Vidya Balan is humility personified. The monumental success of her debut film PARINEETA has made her even more humble and not the other way round. She's had the audience in splits once again with her stunning performance as RJ Jhanvi in LAGE RAHO MUNNABHAI. Despite her chock-a-block schedule, the beautiful actress manages to squeeze in some time...
She gets candid in a tete-a-tete with Glamsham.
Tell us something about your background?
I'm a Tamilian Iyer and hail from Palghat, Kerala but I was born and brought up in Mumbai. So my upbringing, education all happened in Mumbai. I did my BA in Sociology from St Xaviers and MA from Mumbai University. I'm a trained Bharat Natyam dancer and know a bit of Kathak also.
How do you feel about the huge success of PARINEETA?
I'm glad I got an opportunity to be a part of such a great film, that too at the very onset of my career. I hadn't expected PARINEETA to be such a huge hit. I gave it my best shot and I'm grateful to God that it happened to me. (Laughs) And now to top it all, I have LAGE RAHO MUNNABHAI.
Your association with Pradeep Sarkar goes back a long way?
Yes! I've done around 90 ads out of which I did 4 to 5 with him. I've also done 3 music videos with him (the ones with Euphoria, Shubha Mudgal and Pankaj Udhas). He is truly my mentor and I really look up to him. He had faith in me and that reinforced my faith in myself.
What about Vidhu Vinod Chopra?
Vinod Chopra Productions is like extended family to me. I really respect him and we share this warmth and affection in our relationship. I know if I ever need him, he'll always be there.
What do you have to say about Sanjay Dutt and Saif Ali Khan?
I'm fortunate I started off with great actors like Sanjay and Saif. They are lovely human beings too. Saif prepares for his role and probably Sanjay doesn't but they both are very focused and extremely natural. Sanjay Dutt is versatile and effortless I feel. I've learnt a great deal from both of them.
From a sari clad woman in PARINEETA to a hip RJ in LAGE RAHO...It's been quite a transition for you?
I want to be able to portray different images. I want to be versatile and don't want to restrict myself to any particular genre. It was my costume designer Sheena Parekh in LAGE RAHO who asserted that I could look perfect in western clothes too. Personally I am more comfortable in this look and I am very much like that in real life also.
How was it like working with Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan in GURU?
It was a lovely experience. Abhishek Bachchan is a livewire and I had a blast shooting with him. We were laughing and pulling pranks on each other. And Aishwarya is by far the most dignified woman I've ever met in my life. She is humble to the core. I play a small but an important role in the film. It is directed by Mani Ratnam.
Tell us about SALAAM-E-ISHQ?
SALAAM-E-ISHQ is not yet complete and will release in January. It is the story of 6 couples from different walks of life. Nikhil Advani and his group are a bunch of young, energetic people. I had great fun shooting with them. I am paired opposite John Abraham. We were constantly laughing and teasing people. He is a great co-star. I guess this probably incited the vile rumours.
So do they affect you?
Not at all! There's no truth in it. John and I just laughed about it. People who matter to me know the truth so I really don't care. The day I'm seeing someone, I'll happily announce it to the world.
Would you accept a negative role at this stage in your career?
If I'm convinced I'll certainly do it. Moreover I have not set any limitations or parameters. So it's not about positive or negative, I just want to play good characters onscreen. I am here to do good work. My agenda is to enjoy my work and go home feeling fully satisfied with my days work. Every role that I do should be someone else's dream role.
What about EKLAVYA, HEY BABY and CHANDRAMUKHI?
EKLAVYA is Mr. Amitabh Bachchan. I'm playing the female lead in the film. I'm paired opposite Saif Ali Khan. It'll release sometime in January. We haven't started shooting for HEY BABY so it's too premature to talk about it right now. It also stars Akshay Kumar, Ritesh Deshmukh and Fardeen Khan. As for CHANDRAMUKHI, I'm playing a normal girl and I have a classical number in the film.
she is an awesomeeee actresss....i lovedd her actingg in parineeta and Lage Raho Munna Bhaiii...she is also really pretty
Luv
