 Vidya has (almost) always come across as a very natural, un-film star kind of person, and that is what has differentiated her in a world where glamor means western clothes in size zero. Which is not to say that Vidya is not glamorous. Far from it. Her glamor lies in her curves and her naturalness. But it took her about five years and much unkind criticism to understand, accept and finally embrace herself as herself, whole-hardheartedly. The result is a stunningly confident and radiant Vidya. "I have become unapologetic about myself," says Bollywood's bravest actor, basking in the glory of five consecutive best actor awards. "That's why I am happier and able to live my dream today."

Vidya Balan and Deepika Padukone are all set to share screen space in noted cinematographer and Tamil filmmaker Rajiv Menon’s next, a biopic on MS Subbulakshmi, a legendary Carnatic singer. Now this is one solid combination!!! Vidya will essay the role of MS Subbulakshmi, Deepika Padukone is said to play Vidya’s sister, Bala.Rajiv Menon, who is known to be a big fan of Deepika is keen to work with her and so he will ensure that she is not sidelined by Vidya and that both will get meaty roles. Hmmm, so looks like it will be the beginning of a new friendship in B-town. Vidya is known to share a very nice relationship with all her co-stars and so is Deepika. Both the actresses have never been known to have thrown starry tantrums. So we are sure there wouldn’t be any kind of ego-tussle between the two. Initially, rumors had it that Aishwarya Rai would be playing the role of MS Subbulakshmi. But, Aish rejected the offer as she felt that ...

Vidya Balan’s love for saris is well known. The actor has played a major role in resurrecting our love for the garment all over the country, along with making it stylish and sexy. From Kanjeevaram to brocade and chanderi, she wears various weaves on and off screen. We speak to Vidya about he passion for the sari and how it became her look. You’ve single-handedly brought saris back into fashion. I love saris. They have a lot of sensuality and grace. It is the most accepting garment — whatever your height, weight or profession may be, it wraps itself around you, and makes you feel and look good. Do you have childhood memories of wearing your mother’s saris? Which is your favourite one from her wardrobe? Yes, I have a picture in one too. It was cream chiffon, with yellow flowers, and I wore it with her big sunglasses. I love all of them, but if I have to choose, it would be the one from her wedding — a red and gold Kanjeevaram one. When was the first time you draped a s...
