NO MORE SINGLE!


Vidya Balan couldn’t be happier. “I must say I’m very content in the space I’m occupying right now,” she says, indulging in some frank speak. With a mysterious smile, Vidya suggests she is no longer single and is enjoying it. Vidya says, “The other evening, I went to watch Naseeruddin Shah and Ratna Pathak perform Dear Liar at Prithvi theatre.” On being asked who accompanied her, she chuckles, “Ah, it was friend whose name begins with ‘S’. I'm not saying any more than that!”

All this forthright talk without us mentioning Shahid even once! She adds, “I don’t deny that Shahid is a very close friend. For the first time, I’ve worked with a co-star who’s actually closer to me by way of age, experience and temperament. We were together for two months in Toronto shooting Aziz Mirza’s Kismat Connection and we really got along well. I found him very calm and intelligent. I think we’re alike in many ways. I really enjoyed working with him. And I would love to do more films with him.”

She adds, “I’m amazed by the range of men I’ve been linked with. From Pradeep Sarkar it went to Sanjay Dutt, Akshay Kumar, John Abraham and now Shahid. I seem to have been going down the generations until I’ve finally come to a guy who’s my age,” she says. Time to stop here then, Vidya?
