shahid and vidya’s pic shoked us

Until he had a photo-session done with Shahid Kapoor and Vidya Balan Aziz Mirza thought he had found the new-millennium Shah Rukh Khan-Juhi Chawla pair for his new film.

But the camera doesn't lie, the resulting photographs showed a stark age difference between the two, with Vidya looking considerably older than her hero.

This has posed serious problems for, gone are the days when Mala Sinha sported pigtails to look well-matched with Amitabh Bachchan in Sanjog and when Shah Rukh Khan, keen to have at least one film with Sridevi in his repertoire, pasted a moustache on his face.

This time, Mirza had to find another way of filling in the distinct age difference between his hero and heroine and the best way was to change Vidya's character around and make her older than Shahid in the film too.

A source says, "This decision was taken after a photo-session with Shahid and Vidya, which showed a stark age difference between the two."
