Vidya Balan feels herself fortunate to rope in as superstar Rajinikanth’s leading lady. News is doing the rounds that Vidya has been approached to play Rajini’s heroine in a 3D animation flick, titled, ‘Hara’. Vidya is quite excited to act opposite the great actor Rajinikanth. In the film, he will play an animated character.
Vidya reacts on it by saying that, she is not at all against doing an item song, the only condition is that,she should like it. Sources say that, Vidya is going to perform a traditional version of the Mohiniattam dance form. It is not a raunchy number although it is a sensuous one. 'This item number has a completely different flavour, it is not like other item numbers', says Vidya. 
This is none other than Vidya Balan’s cousin Priya Mani. The actress recently was cast in a small but important role in Mani Ratnam’s much hyped “Raavan”.
And she has caught the attention of Bollywood with her small role, in which she describes her gang rape by cops. Her powerful acting has already raised eyebrows.
And generated attention towards her. While the leads of the film are cribbing about the editing in the movie, this newcomer is very satisfied with her role.
“My role couldn’t be cut. Mani Sir told me it brought colour and vibrancy into the story,” said she. Well, evidently, she made quite an impression in that small role and Ram Gopal Verma has already cast her in his next film “Rakta Charitra”.
Priya, though is not a newcomer in the field of cinema. The actress, who has been acting from the age of 18, has done many roles in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada. In 2006, she even won the national award for her performance in a southern film. But the actress was not eager to continue doing serious roles. “I quickly gravitated towards conventional glamorous roles because I no longer had to prove myself as an actress,” she said.
When asked, if she is banking on her cousin Vidya to help her out in this unknown B’Town, she was quick to reply, “No, I’m not really in touch with Vidya. I’m more in touch with her father. Whenever I visit Mumbai, I make it point to meet him. But I don’t expect them to help me in Bollywood at all…”
Check out this pretty lady. Vidya chose this lovely pink & black sari for the HT Cafe Relaunch Party.
Loved the pink cotton sari with the embroidered blouse on her. But Vidya, we wouldn’t mind you experimenting with it as well. Try different fabrics, prints, blouse styles. Her hair, make up and minimal jewelery makes her even more prettier.
Karan was on the panel discussion. Fail to believe, Karan who is so good with his clothes, got this so wrong for himself
Managed to get a pic with a close up of her shoes. Naaaaaa…… not very impressive.
I will give her a 8 on 10 rating.
What do you think???
Ishqiya directed by Vishal Bhardwaj created a new benchmark with its unique flavour and earthy music. The film was well received by audiences all over India. Arshad Warsi and Vidya Balan launched the DVD of Ishqiya and both requested their fans to put an end to piracy. The DVD of the film includes behind the scene shots and clips which didn’t make it to the silver screen.

The original plan to cast a big star for the role of Jessica Lal, the assassinated model from Delhi, in the upcoming movie ‘No One Killed Jessica‘ has fallen out. Vidya Balan is playing Jessica’s sister Sabrina Lal and Rani Mukherji is playin the role of an investigative journalist. However, the chance of finding an establishedactor to play the small role of Jessica Lal has faded out. The directors and producers are facing a lack of choice and have decided to cast a newcomer for this role.
Filmfare awards winner Vidya Balan has been linked with almost all her co-stars, the most publicist being Shahid Kapoor. And if you think she is disturbed by those rumors, think again. The truth is that she enjoys reading her link up stories.
Vidya said that the stories of link ups do bothers her but sometimes appreciate well-written stories. She added that there was a time when she felt she was out of work if she wasn’t linked to her co-stars.
It was a dream come true for Vidya Balan as she received her first ever Filmfare best actress award for her outstanding performance in Paa as Amitabh Bachchan’s mother.
Vidya who won the Naa-real award(SRK-Saif had given it to her for her bad dress sense) in the year 2008, on receiving the award said, “From nariyal to this Black lady, it’s been a great journey at the Filmfare. I thank Balki (director), my parents and Arundhati Nag. Also I would like to add that motherhood is a rewarding feeling, so I am greatly thankful to my son Auro who made me a mother.”
Vidya wore a beautiful orange colored Sabyasachi saree and completed the look with Rudraksh beaded necklace.
Congratulations Vidya.

Vidya Balan won the best actress award for her role in Paa at the recently held Lions Gold Awards. Congratulations Vidya.
Vidya Balan in her upcoming movie Ishqiya was required to suck on Arshad Warsi’s thumb suggestively and everytime she sucked on Arshad’s thumb she burst into laughter.
Vidya says, “Fortunately Arshad is a friend. We’ve gotten along well from the time we did Lage Raho Munnabhai together. I don’t know I’d have been able to do a scene like putting my co-star’s finger in the mouth with someone else. That gesture of sucking Arshad’s thumb was so raunchy and sexy, so not me, I couldn’t connect with it all.”
Talking about her character Vidya says, “I play this rustic voluptuous woman. All my weight-loss happened after I did this film. I had to looked filled up for this part.
In Ishqiya everything from the way I wore my saree to the way I looked at men, was alien to me. The role exposed me to a new way of interpreting a liberated woman. My character in Ishqiya may not know about feminism. But she’s truly liberated.”
Lets see if Vidya continuous her Paa magic run in Ishqiya.
