Abraham and me are so different in personality
and yet so compatible together'

|
|
| They
say she has become difficult. What they mean is
that Vidya Balan is turning down assignments for
which other actresses would give their left arm
and right profile.
"But
I really don't see my career in that way,"
said the soft-spoken, constantly apologetic and
yet unshakeable 'Parineeta' girl.
|
|
|
|
"I
can't rush into projects and then find the time to
do them. I've to be completely convinced about
every detail about my character and my willingness
and ability to portray it before saying yes,"
Vidya says she's willing to be dubbed difficult
for her professionalism.
|
|
|
| Recently,
when she opted out of an avant-garde
director-turned- producer's period film, the man
went around town calling her unprofessional.
"But
I never say yes only to have second
thoughts," she explained.
|

It
appears as though Vidya is a victim of the Saif
syndrome. Filmmakers approach Vidya with roles that
she's not convinced about, tell her to think over it,
and then turn nasty when she says a final no
"I
can't take on work that I cannot do. Yes, I've had
certain reservations about some aspects of a couple of
scripts that I was offered recently.
Frankly, they're roles to kill for. But I cannot bring
myself to play characters I don't identify with. Maybe
I'm too new or too scared.
But
I'd rather go cautiously than plunge impulsively into a
film and then regret it later." Also, at the moment
Vidya is slightly more inclined to play contemporary
roles.
After "Parineeta" the risk of being branded an
old-world actress is imminent. In her second film "Lage
Raho Munna Bhai", Vidya played a radio
jockey."Not like what Preity Zinta played in
'Salaam Namaste'. I don't think I could've carried off
that look," Vidya laughed.
Now there's Nikhil Advani's "Salaam-e-Ishq"
where she's paired with John Abraham.
"Again a very contemporary character. John and I
are so different in personality and yet so compatible
together. "Another contemporary role is the one
Vidya plays in Sajid Khan's "Hey Baby".

|
| "I'm
really looking forward to that. You know Sajid
and I've known each other for years. He has a
terrific sense of humour. I keep asking him why
I haven't become as tall as Amitabh Bachchan
after the way he keeps pulling my
leg."
So,
is it goodbye to period films after 'Parineeta'?
"No such rules. I'm truly flattered if
filmmakers come to me with films that search out
a past. At the moment I'm looking at my
present." She's also looking forward to
working with Bengali director Rituparno Ghosh.
"He is a director who is bound to bring out
the best in me for - whatever it may be
worth." |
