Vidya Balan Marries UTV’s Siddharth Roy

Actress Vidya Balan tied the knot with UTV head Siddharth Roy during a low-key wedding celebration in Mumbai Dec. 14.

Actress Vidya Balan tied the knot with UTV head Siddharth Roy Kapoor here Dec. 14 during a Punjabi and Tamil-inspired ceremony.

“The wedding ceremony is still on. It is a mix of both Punjabi and Tamil traditions. The food served is South Indian,” said a source.

The 34-year-old actress underwent three dress changes during the wedding ceremony, one of them being a mustard sari with a pink blouse, matching the groom’s yellow kurta and pink turban.

The wedding festivities initially began Dec. 11 with a private dinner followed by a mendhi ceremony. The couple will reportedly host an upcoming reception in Chennai.

Previously, Balan never confirmed rumors about her relationship with Roy and continued to keep her wedding and celebrations as private as possible.

Vidya Balan says goodbye to saree

At least for Raj Kumar Gupta's Ghanchakkar, wherein she plays a vibrant housewife

Vidya Balan and a saree had become synonymous. Be it in films, events, award functions or even Bollywood parties, the actress would drape herself in the nine yards that had more or less become her uniform. And thus, to see the woman in anything but a saree, was refreshing.

Dolled up by her designer Subarna Ray Chaudhari, in a harem salwar, a black and blue distress tee-shirt and rubber sandals, Vidya looked every bit the Punjabi homemaker she plays in Raj Kumar Gupta's next, Ghanchakkar. Add to that, she was in an extremely playful mood when we met her on the sets of the film at Essel Studio, Trombay. Here's what transpired...

While everybody was ready to roll - lead actor Emraan Hashmi even rubbed his hands in glee, proclaiming, "Time to kick off a new venture. Exciting!" - Vidya wasn't too sure. Reason: she saw a cat. . "Cats are indeed scary. I am sure you know of many people who are petrified of cats. Shut the door," she demanded a quick removal of the animal before stepping in.

Interestingly, both the actors, till a couple of years back had to put up with either actors refusing to work with them or scathing articles in the media about their fashion sense.

"It's not easy for actors like Vidya and I, who often swam against the tide. Till date, I don't see myself in the kind of cinema, which is reassuring for certain figures," quipped Emraan. And we understood why The Dirty Picture jodi had instantly clicked.

Director's Cut
While Emraan reflected on their careers, director Rajkumar Gupta, who had thus far made social dramas like Aamir and No One Killed Jessica entered the sets. "Emraan is a brilliant actor and Vidya is an ocean of talent. I am so happy that I am working with those people who I wanted on this project," he told us and surprised us by revealing, "Ghanchakkar is a comedy. It gives me a big kick to get into a space, which neither my two lead actors nor I have really indulged in before. Writer Parvez Sheikh had given me the story of Ghanchakkar much before I completed No One Killed Jessica. But I didn't know whether I would translate it into a film. He has co-written the film and it flowed beautifully."

Emraan, whose last film Shanghai met with mixed response sounded confident about this UTV Motion Pictures venture. "Sections of the trade were very unfair. But I was very happy with Shanghai. Ghanchakkar will be a masala entertainer that you have not witnessed before. I have an aversion for slapstick comedies. Thankfully, Ghanchakkar has comic elements that don't feed you with buffoonery. I would rather see a cartoon instead," said he.

With this, we moved on to the scene that was about to be shot. "This studio houses the home where Vidya and Emraan are staying temporarily," explained the director and Vidya interrupted, "Watch him direct. He sits before the monitor with his hands posing as scissors and then he shouts 'Cut' and does a 'Scissor' sign." As soon as the scene begins, we realise how right the actress was. By this time, we are dying to know whether the 'serial-kisser' Emraan and 'ooh-la-la' Vidya will have some steamy scenes to share this time around. "Of course," Gupta ended the suspense and added, "They have to behave as husband and wife na?"

Colourful Woman
Ghanchakkar is a quirky film that narrates the tale of Emraan, an ex-conman who is laid back and has a taste for finer things in life. And his ambitious Punjabi wife, Vidya, who has her own notions about the world. " She wants a better life. Every woman wants a better life. I play someone jiska sapna hai ki uska pati use kabhi Europe ghumane le jayega.

She is a colourful Punjabi housewife. Colourful in terms of her personality. A mast character," Vidya explains her character with much gutso. "That man has an edge. His sense of humour is quirky. He knows how to tell a story. He is open to improvisations. What better environment you need," she adds about Gupta, who will be directing her for the second time. As we were about to leave the set, we learnt that designer Chaudhary is in hospital. "Her fever is not going down. It would have been great to have her here. I am sure she'll join us soon," added Vidya.

Will Heroine be Kareena Kapoor's The Dirty Picture?

The story of the rise and fall of a leading actress - this could well describe both Kareena Kapoor's still-in-the-making Heroine and Vidya Balan's sleeper hit The Dirty Picture.

Silk Smitha biopic The Dirty Picture fetched Vidya both critical and commercial glory in the form of a National Award and the typically Bollywood-esque tribute of being dubbed the "fourth Khan."

Will Heroine do the same for Kareena? And will she be able to follow Vidya into the no man's land of heroine oriented cinema?

Perhaps it's early days to make comparisons yet, but though Bebo puts her sultriest face forward on the first poster of Heroine, it seems lukewarm next to Vidya's searing appearance on the poster for The Dirty Picture which literally took everyone's breath away when it was released.

Kareena herself calls Heroine a landmark film in her career: "I feel that Heroine is going to be a milestone in my career. I aim to make it one my career-best performances."

Maybe her words prove as prophetic as Vidya's did when she said: "I think the boys are just going to love The Dirty Picture because it is dirty."

Then again, maybe not. Kareena, suddenly struck dumb when it comes to answering questions from the press, seems to be letting the film's first look do the talking. But Heroine's poster hasn't been worth a thousand words thus far.

Looks like it's advantage Balan at the moment, but this will still be an interesting battle of the beauties.

Bollywood going gaga over 'lavani' numbers

After raunchy item numbers, Bollywood actresses seem to be enamoured with 'lavani', a Maharashtrian folk dance and are leaving no stone unturned to emerge as the 'lavani queen' of the B-town.

As Katrina Kaif's Chikni Chameli and Vidya Balan's Mala Jau De dance numbers got rave reviews for their folk dance performances, Rani Mukherjee is the latest addition to this list.

In her upcoming film Aiyaa, the leading lady of the film-- Rani Mukherjee does three item numbers in her dream and lavani is one of that. Rani plays the role of a Marathi girl in the film and is paired opposite southern star Prithvi Raj.

Directed by Sachin Kundalkar, Aiyaa is co-produced by Anurag Kashyap and Viacom 18 is slated to release in October end this year.

Lavani has been a hit with dancing divas like Helen, who gave an unforgettable performance in Mungla song in Inkaar (1977), Madhuri Dixit's Humko Aajkal Hai from Sailaab (1990), Main Kolhapur Se Aayi Hoon from Anjaam (1994).

After Madhuri Dixit's lavani performance, this dance form had more or less disappeared from Bollywood, only to make a comeback in Karan Johar's remake Agneepath. British Indian actress Katrina, through her foot-thumping Chikni Chameli performance proved that she can also be a desi Marathi girl.

"It (Chikni Chameli) was very fast and it was not a style I was used to, but I took it as a challenge. I worked very hard for this song," Katrina had said.

Ace choreographer Ganesh Acharya, who had directed Katrina's moves in the song, says, "Katrina has given all the power and dedication that was needed. I think only she could have done a song like Chikni Chameli and nobody else."

In Vidhu Vinod Chopra's home production, Vidya Balan danced to a lavani, her first such special number in Ferrari Ki Sawaari.

While doing this song, Vidya had looked up to noted actresses Madhuri Dixit and late Smita Patil for inspiration.

"For the lavani song my inspiration is Madhuri. I liked her song Humko Aaj Kal and I also admire Smita Patil's performance in Bhoomika," Vidya had said.

Vidya practised hard for this song to perfect her steps for the dance form. "I was happy when this song was offered to me. It was always my dream to do a lavani song. I am not a trained dancer...I had to put in a lot of effort," she said.

Apart from Bollywood beauties, an American dancer is likely to be seen doing the Maharashtrian folk dance.

The winner of US TV show, So You Think You Can Dance, Lauren Gottlieb is likely to be seen doing a lavani number in Remo D'Souza's 3D Dance film AnyBody Can Dance (ABCD).

However, Sachin Kundalkar feels despite such hullaballoo about lavani songs in Bollywood, there isn't a distinctive song that has been churned out well since many years.

"Lavani song is not all about dance. It is about composition, beats...and everything should be there. I don't feel there is any real...true lavani song that I have seen in Bollywood off late," Kundalkar told PTI.

"We have a lavani song in your film Aiyaa picturised on Rani. We have maintained all the typical elements of a lavani dance form in this song," he said.

The Electrifying pair Emraan Hashmi-Vidya Balan will be back on screens

After 'The Dirty Picture', the electrifying pair Vidya Balan And Emraan Hashmi will be back on screens with Rajkumar Gupta's 'Ghanchakkar', bannered under UTV Motion Pictures.

If sources are to be believed, then 'Ghanchakkar' will go on floors from 6th August 2012.

The first schedule, which will last for a month, will be mostly shot in Mumbai streets.

It is said that a set is being laid at Essel Studio, Trombay for the shooting.

Reported to be a comic-thriller, 'Ghanchakkar' revolves around a couple, played by Emraan and Vidya.

Emraan, plays the role of an ex-conman named Sanju, who is laid back and has a taste for finer things in life.

The problem is his ambitious wife, played by Vidya, who has her own notions of the world and therefore gets sucked into a 'chakkar' and has to suffer two thugs in the process - one with a bad ailment and one with a bad sense of humour, leading to madness, confusion and chaos and unleashing some mad cap characters in his life.

Will Sanju survive the madness and prevent himself from turning into a Ghanchakkar? is the plot of the film.

Vidya Balan roped in as Brand Ambassador for sanitation drive

New Delhi: Vidya Balan, who on Thursday received the Best Actress National Film Award for her role in 'The Dirty Picture', is the new brand ambassador for the sanitation drive launched by Union Minister for Rural Development Jairam Ramesh.

"I can't remember when was the last time I did anything without conviction," said Balan, when asked if she was convinced about the cause.

With manual scavenging still a reality and more than 21 lakh toilets without access to proper disposal of human waste, sanitation is an issue that has never been on top of national agenda. The minister hopes that with Vidya Balan, he will succeed in 'making sanitation a national obsession'.

CNN-IBN's Rupashree Nanda spoke with Jairam Ramesh and Vidya Valan. Here is an excerpt from the interview:

Rupashree Nanda: This is not the first time you have taken a brand ambassador to fight poor sanitation. Vidya Balan is at the peak of her career....what makes you think that Vidya will help you win this battle?

Jairam Ramesh: Actually, she is the first serious brand ambassador we have. It is going to be a two year programme. She's had a dirty picture in reel life, but this will be a clean picture in real life. I think she will help in making sanitation a national obsession.

Rupashree Nanda: Are you really convinced about the cause?

Vidya Balan: It's an honour for me to be the brand ambassador for the sanitation drive and like Mr Ramesh just said, it needs to become a national obsession and I am going to do everything in my capacity to make sure that the message is taken across to every person.

Rupashree Nanda: But are you convinced?

Vidya Balan: Of course, I am convinced - I can't remember the last time I did anything without conviction because you know it does not work I don't know when was the last time I did anything without conviction whether it is a film or a cause. We get approached to espouse a lot of causes as celebrities, as actors but I have chosen this as I said, it is a matter of great honour for me...I would have declined if i did not believe in it.

Jairam Ramesh: I want to say that Vidya Balan responded to our request almost instantaneously and almost spontaneously.

Vidya Balan strips for Dabboo Ratnani’s calendar

Ever since she made her debut in Pradeep Sarkar’s ‘Parineeta’, Vidya Balan came across as a girl who was bold yet traditional. And ‘The Dirty Picture’ glorified the bolder aspect of her personality as she sizzled the silver screen with her “dare to bare all act”!

The actress recently stripped for ace photographer Dabboo Ratnani’s 2012 calendar.

Vidya posed for pictures sitting in a bathtub with soap bubbles covering her modesty.

Vidya oozes sexuality in her scorching photo shoot and gives her ‘Silk’ image a run for its money.

Talking about the photoshoot, Vidya said, “Our previous shoots have all been phenomenal. Every time we have worked around the idea of sexuality…we were like what can we do that we haven’t done before!”

She also expressed how comfortable she feels while working with Ratnani.

“I don’t need to know anything when it’s Dabboo. That’s the kind of faith I have and rapport we share. It’s such a comfortable feeling,” Vidya said.

Vidya seems to be pretty comfortable getting bolder with age, which is why she has little inhibitions stripping and discussing sexuality.

Vidya Balan has a new fan

Not surprisingly, Vidya has found another fan in the film industry, director Ken Ghosh. Expressing his thoughts on the actor and sounding reasonably optimistic, Ken recently wrote on his microblogging site, "Has recently told Vidya Balan that she will need another room for her awards soon."

Well, we surely don't that this observation. If film trailers are anything to go by, then Vidya has given a smashing performance in Sujoy Ghosh's forthcoming movie "Kahaani" where the actor portays a pregnant woman in search of her husband. Way to go Vidya!

The Dirty Picture actor seems to be all set to surprise fans with her pregnant woman act in director Sujoy Ghosh’s next

Vidya Balan has got the men drooling with her teasing moves in her forthcoming film The Dirty Picture.

The film has been shot in Kolkata at real locations and if the director is to be believed, this will be one of Vidya’s most memorable performances. The surprise package in Kahaani is a song sung by Amitabh Bachchan, who has also been a part of Sujoy’s last film, Aladin.

The music of the film has been composed by Vishal-Shekhar and we’ve heard that they have worked really hard to come up with a different sound. The buzz about the film too seems positive. A few industry insiders who have seen portions of the film claim that this is her most bravura performance till date. Some say that Vidya of Parineeta and PAA is back in full form in KAHAANI.

'Kareena Kapoor out of Shahid Kapoor's guest list'

Shahid Kapoor is leaving no stone unturned for his home-production, Mausam. Shahid has personally invited everyone from Bollywood for the premiere of Mausam. Calling his ex-flames Vidya Balan and Priyanka Chopra but leaving Kareena Kapoor, the one woman with whom he had the longest relationship.

A source said, "Shahid and Pankaj decided the guestlist. They personally called or texted everyone from the industry. But maybe, Shahid didn't want Kareena."

This comes as a surprise because Shahid and Kareena have maintained that that they are cordial to each other and would love to work together again after Jab We Met.

Shahid and Kareena had also been very warm towards each other during the Filmfare awards earlier this year. Saif was also present with Kareena. The three of them had exchanged pleasantries and spent time together.

The reason for their break-up still remains a mystery since both of them have remained tight-lipped about it and moved on. Kareena began dating Saif Ali Khan immediately while shooting for Tashan.

Shahid found love in Vidya Balan while shooting for Aziz Mirza's Kismet Konnection. However, once the film released, Shahid decided to move on. Soon, they stopped talking to each other. According to sources, they drifted apart because Shahid was attracted to tennis star Sania Mirza.

Though, Kareena has been going strong with the Chhote Nawab, it is not the same for Shahid. The actor was seen hanging out with Priyanka Chopra soon after Vidya. Shahid and Priyanka had an on-off relationship interspersed with a lot of fights.

However, they have not let their personal differences disrupt their professional lives. Shahid and Priyanka will be seen together in Kunal Kohli's next untitled film. The three girls in question were unavailable for comment.

Why was Vidya chosen for Silk Smitha's role?

Vidya Balan was the original choice for the role of Silk Smitha in ‘The Dirty Picture’ and that's because director Milan Luthria wanted an actor with a deadly combination of sexiness and innocence. And, Vidya Balan is the only actor in Bollywood who offers the combo.

Vidya Balan has already proved her mettle with ‘Ishqiya,’ as she managed performing the bold scenes effortlessly. Initially, the actor was conscious to face the camera in a sensual avatar, but finally she was comfortable and director Milan Luthria is happy with the outcome.

He feels Vidya has managed to look sensuous, not vulgar. ‘The Dirty Picture’ is all set to release on December 2.

Vidya Balan is a great actor—Milan Luthria

Playing unconventional roles is nothing new for Vidya Balan and the actress, who has done a complete makeover to portray Silk Smitha in 'Dirty Picture', has apparently received mixed reviews from the audiences.

Vidya has no close resemblance to the late actress and a lot of the viewers who had watched the theatrical trailer of the film felt that the actress’ physical attributes didn’t match up to Silk’s.

However, director Milan Luthria, in a recent interview, stated that Vidya is the only actress who is a great performer and has the looks of a classic Indian beauty that is apt to portray the role of Silk Smitha in the biopic.

Talking about Vidya’s sensuous look in 'Dirty Picture', Milan said that a lot of work had gone into transforming the actress for the role. 

Apparently, they had put in a lot of effort to present the actress in a more sensuous way that cannot be deemed vulgar.

"We were looking for a strong performer and not someone who could merely look sexy and Vidya is a great actor. Also, she has the body of a classic voluptuous Indian beauty, something not many Bollywood actresses can boast of. Silk was never pencil thin.

“The fact that she can hold that innocent expression despite being a part of a bold scene is a facet of only great actors. The kind of character that she is playing, someone who has a harsh exterior but a soft inner, isn't easy, but Vidya does it effortlessly," stated the ‘Dirty Picture’ director. 

Vidya to go nude

 
Looks like Vidya, who is making an interesting journey to play different kinds of characters in various films, seems to be grabbing roles that shows her sensuous side.

The actress, who is considered to be a great performer in the industry, has grabbed a new film ‘Enjoy Your Life', where she would have to go nude. 

The actress has decided to shed her inhibitions for a scene in the film. The film also has Amitabh Bachchan in an important role.

Tamil producers want to sign Vidya

 
Vidya’s 'Dirty Picture' has become a talking point in Kollywood. The actress has shed her next-door girl image to bring in the sizzle and sensation of the original sex symbol Silk Smitha.

It’s heard that several producers in Kollywood are waiting to sign the actress after seeing the theatrical trailer of 'Dirty Picture' and her sensuous looks.

Vidya Balan’s lip-lock jinxed?

The much-touted lip-lock between Vidya Balan and Tusshar Kapoor is still yet to be shot for The Dirty Picture.

As one of the men who's close to Silk Smitha, the character that Vidya essays in the film, Tusshar shares a lip-lock with her onscreen. However, while the other scenes have been shot with the two of them, this is yet to be canned. It was supposed to have been shot more than a month back in Hyderabad where they shot most of the film. But a sudden dragonfly attack on the sets, put an end to the shoot.

The kissing scene was to be canned in Mumbai later and it looks like it's still hanging in limbo! Meanwhile, some people in Kollywood are not too sure Vidya can pull off the oomphy Silk Smitha role. It now remains to be seen what the reaction will be to Vidya's 'bold' scenes on-screen.
