... says Vidya Balan while also denying rumours of her link ups with her co-stars.Her smile lights up the room as Vidya Balan walks in and it’s easy to see why this Lolita of Parineeta found a way straight into cine-goers ‘hearts. “It all feels like a fairytale. I am truly blessed,” she says about her journey of two years in Bollywood. And even though her recent films didn’t exactly set the box-office on fire, there are a number of filmmakers queuing up to sign her.
Unfazed by the fate of her films at the BO, she says, “I am still learning. I did a couple of roles, because they were offered by brilliant directors, but I know people were disappointed by their length. So, Halla Bol will be the last small role for me.” And will we see her doing an item number? “Not in a long time. I don’t think my body language is sexy enough to pull off those numbers,” she laughs.
The actress who was once linked to Sanjay Dutt and more recently her costar John Abraham takes it all in her stride. “I look at rumours as professional hazards. I am over that phase when such rumours would move me to tears,” she reveals. Dismissing the rumours, she says, “What are they talking about? I haven’t even been in touch with the people they are linking me up with after shooting. It’s bizarre and unthinkable.” So what’s really happening on the personal front? “I don’t think I will be able to handle a relationship at this point. A relationship would mean a distraction, because I can’t multi-task. Besides, I don’t think I’m ready for a relationship yet,” she says.
