However, this does not mean that Vidya is ready to act in such a film by any means. She has her own terms and conditions laid out. She says that if she will ever do such a film, it will depend on who has done it and how it is being interpreted. Looks like Vidya has become a bit choosy about her roles.

The film highlights the life of three women who have high ambitions in their career. They also are in relationship with other men. However, it is their quest to do better in life and achieve their goals, both in personal as well as professional lives.

Hot and sexy scenes is not being bold for Esha Gupta

The definition of boldness is different for Esha Gupta. According to her, hot and sexy scenes played on the screen are not being bold. Any skin show cannot be termed as bold, Esha thinks, who has already done such hot and steamy scenes on screen. This is how the actress, who was also a former model, spoke her views out.`

She stated the examples of Vidya Balan and Kareena Kapoor in films like The Dirty Picture and Jab We Met, respectively. She thinks that both the actresses were essaying strong characters in the film. They had the ability to carry the film on their own, Esha said. Esha also appreciated the role played by Vidya Balan in the film Kahaani.

As far as Esha is concerned, she has had her share of boldness on screen. Some of the recent films that could be stated are Jannat 2 and Raaz 3. She has even been involved in a nude scene for Raaz3. Her upcoming film is Chakravyuh.

Emraan Hashmi says he is luckier than Salman Khan

Salman Khan had recently said in a statement that Emraan Hashmi is one of the most underrated actors. Emraan Hashmi has had his share of comments when he said that he is luckier than Salman Khan just because he gets to kiss. Well, has Emraan Hashmi made this as a light-hearted comment?

Salman Khan has had successful films like Bodyguard, Dabangg and the most recent being Ek Tha Tiger. All the films have made huge business at the box office. However, that does not mean that he is fortunate, in Emraan’s eyes. The serial-kisser still believes that Salman Khan is unfortunate as he does not get to lock the lips.

However, Emraan Hashmi also has his share of successful films. Shanghai, The Dirty Picture, Jannat 2 and the latest being Raaz 3. He is also engaged with the shoot of Ek Thi Daayan as well as Ghanchakkar, which is a romantic comedy.

Vidya Balan calls doctor on the sets of Ghanchakkar

Vidya Balan is a true professional. It was evident from her approach on the sets of Ghanchakkar. When she fell ill during the shooting, she saved some valuable time by calling the doctor on the sets instead of going to the hospital herself. This shows the sincerity towards her work.

However, this is not the first time that she has fell ill during the shooting. She was not well, during the shoot of The Dirty Picture and had to be admitted to the hospital in Bandra. It was only when she felt good that the shooting could resume. But this time around, it looks as if she has taken a cue out of her own experience.

By giving a call to the doctor and asking him to come on the sets, she showed the insatiable hunger of performing no matter what her health said. This saved the day for the director, almost literally. Not a single day of the shooting was lost due to this.

Well, credit should certainly go to Vidya Balan for her sacrifice.

Who enjoys the steamy scenes with Kareena Kapoor

When you hear someone loving the steamy scenes with Kareena Kapoor, the first name that would come to your mind is Saif Ali Khan. But we are not talking about Kareena’s beau Saif Ali Khan, but in fact Arjun Rampal. He has some steamy scenes with the Kapoor girl in the film Heroine.

He joked about what he does when he is upset, he replied he goes back to the scenes from the film. Saif Ali Khan, are you listing? But hey, common. There is no doubt that it is a light-hearted comment and should not be taking seriously. Looks like Arjun Rampal is using this as a defense mechanism. He said that those moments will last with him forever.

However, the first look of the film was enough to carry anyone’s attention from Heroine to The Dirty Picture. The reason is the item song in the film. But Kareena is a thorough professional and she was up to the task.

Reema Sen shows gratitude to Vidya Balan

Ever since Vidya Balan has done a Silk Smitha, there is no looking back. Many actresses have taken a leaf out of her book and gone the same way, one of them being Kavita Radheshyam. The latest in the bandwagon is the south actress Reema Sen. Reema Sen was recently seen in the film Gangs of Wasseypur.

The reason for Reema Sen to speak about Vidya was the response she got after the people saw her in the film. Reema played the second wife of Manoj Bajpayee, Durga, in the film. Reema Sen feels that the ‘curvaceous’ trend that Vidya has set through the film The Dirty Picture has been accepted warmly.

The film has been directed by Anurag Kashyap, which shows women characters to their strength. They have been portrayed by Huma Qureshi and Richa Chaddha apart from Reema Sen.

According to Reema Sen, the director told her that there would be a warm welcome to such a portrayal of a character. It was hard for the south actress to believe that. But it was only when the audience went ga ga over the character that Reema now believes it.

Milan Luthria and Saif Ali Khan to work together

After the success of Milan Luthria’s The Dirty Picture it will be the first time that he and Saif Ali Khan will work with each other. In fact it will be after as many as 13 long years in the industry that the two will be working together once again.

The two had worked with each other in the 1999 film Kacche Dhagge. Bhushan Kumar and Milan Luthria had made the film then. Since that film, Milan Luthria and Saif Ali Khan never got paired again.

Bhushan Kumar said that he was very much thrilled to work with Saif again. He said that they are looking forward to work with Saif Ali Khan on the project again. Milan Luthria is currently busy with the sequel to his film Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai.

Vidya Balan doesn’t inspire Veena Malik

Veena Malik will play the lead role of Silk Smitha, which was essayed by Vidya Balan in The Dirty Picture, in the Kannada version of the film. And before long the diplomacy and the question of originality has started to surface. Veena Malik feels that her character in the Kannada version has nothing to do with that of Vidya Balan.

In short, Veena has to say that her character is not inspired by the original act by Vidya. Veena was speaking during a photo shoot where she claimed that she has not seen Vidyaji’s film (which is rather hard to believe), The Dirty Picture. That is the reason Veena is putting forth for her originality in the Kannada film.

But at the same time, Veena did seem a bit diplomatic when she said that she was planning to see the film. But because she got the offer of the Canada version she decided not to watch the film as it would cast a foreign influence on her.

Veena Malik is all set to make her Bollywood debut with the film Daal Mein Kuch Kaala Hai, while the shooting for Zindagi 50-50 and Mumbai 125 km is currently underway.

What? Vidya Balan gets only Rs. 30 lakhs?

Believe it or not, but one of the most successful actresses today, Vidya Balan can reach as high as only Rs. 30 lakhs for an ad today. The figure became public recently. The actress will be paid this sum for the endorsement of an apparel brand.

The price is far too less given her recent spate of success her two films - The Dirty Picture and Kahaani - have seen. Vidya Balan is an actress of Malayali origin, though she has hardly lived in Kerala. She is likely to become a brand ambassador of a new range of apparel to be brought into the market by a jewelry brand.

The home connection might be the reason behind Vidya charging a small sum for the ad endorsement. Otherwise, Vidya Balan is a big name in the Bollywood today and she most certainly deserves a lot more.

Vidya Balan can do without Khans too

Vidya Balan is no doubt the current top actress of Bollywood and so are the three Khans. It is very natural for someone to act alongside the actor or actress who is having a dream run. No doubt, people want to see any of the three Khans – Aamir, Salman or Shah Rukh to work opposite Vidya – just the way Amitabh Bachchan and Govinda did in Chote Miyan Bade Miyan.

Vidya has had runaway success with her films for the past couple of years now. It all started with Paa in 2009 where she starred opposite the mega star Amitabh Bachchan. Ishqiya followed the next year, where she worked opposite Nasseruddin Shah.

The last year, Vidya Balan delivered two hits – No One Killed Jessica along with Rani Mukharjee and The Dirty Picture. Kahaani is the latest hit delivered by Vidya Balan.

Even after this success and the stature the Khans carry, Vidya is firm on her decision to work with either of the Khans only if the film meets her priorities.

Vidya Balan’s Kahaani is hit

After dishing out critically and well-acclaimed performances in No One Killed Jessica and The Dirty Picture, Vidya Balan’s next film Kahaani has been a hit. Though the box office did not ring and collected only Rs. 2.95 cr. on the opening day, it was enough for the critics to praise Vidya’s performance.

Kahaani, made with a budget of Rs. 8, performed well on Saturday, rather than on the opening day. On Saturday, the film grossed Rs. 4.5 cr. keeping the trend in mind, the film is certain to perform well in the first week.

Vidya plays the character of a software programmer who comes all the way from London to Kolkata in a desperate search of her husband. Her husband is the father of Vidya’s yet to be born child.

There is no major release for the next week. That should also help Kahaani to perform well in the coming days. It will soon run into good profits, the men concerned, feel.

Vidya Balan gets the Best Actress National Award

The Vidya Balan and Dirty Picture wave has swept the country like anything. After ruling the Filmfare Awards sometime back, the sexy 33-year-old actress got the Best Actress National Award. Needless to say she got the award for her portrayal of the late sex bomb Silk Smitha.

However, Vidya is yet to come out of the ‘shock’ she got when she was selected for the best actresses award at the national level at the 59th edition. She said that she wanted to believe in the fact that she has indeed won that prestigious award. The film was directed by Milan Luthria and produced by Ekta Kapoor.

The film was appreciated a lot by one and all. That is the reason why Vidya Balan deservingly won the country’s most special title in the film world. The Dirty Picture not only earned a good amount of money, but also brought back the memories of Silk Smitha.

Dirty Pictures also did a lot good to Vidya Balan as well as brought out her strength of character in playing the southern sex icon.

Vidya Balan to take a break

Vidya Balan has been working non-stop for the past couple of years now. It has been hectic two years for Ms. Balan. The Dirty Picture, her last released film, gave her a lot of popularity. But now it seems that Vidya is exhausted and needs a break for the all good reasons.

The next film that Vidya Balan will be doing will not start for another two to three months. So that means, she has more time on her hands to peruse her interests or go to a trip to her favorite spot. However, Vidya seems to be interested in doing some ‘dirty dancing’.

As far as her next film is concerned, Vidya will be seen donning the character of a pregnant woman. It is clear that the sex siren does not want to be typecast nor do the same roles again and again. That is why in her next movie, she will be seen in the role of a pregnant woman.

The 33-year-old actress said that when she is getting a range of roles to play, there is no reason why she should not bring variety to her acting career. The next film that we talked about is Kahaani.
