By Ians English
A
day
after
some
BJP
workers
protested
against
actress
Vidya
Balan's
attempt
to
promote
her
forthcoming
release
"Bobby
Jasoos" in
a
get
up
resembling
Prime
Minister
Narendra
Modi
in
Vadodara,
the
National
Award-winner
said
that
it
was
"unfortunate" and
"felt
bad"
that
her
intention
had
been
"misunderstood".
The
actress,
who
dons
as
many
as
12
disguises
in
the
detective
film,
had
tried
to
sport
a
look
that
resembled
Modi
while
promoting
the
film
in
the
leader's
former
constituency
Thursday.
However,
irate
BJP
supporters
allegedly
stalled
her
idea
of
visiting
the
tea
stall
from
where
Modi
started
his
journey.
"I
am
not
even
aware
of
this
statement
(that
the
BJP
are
allegedly
unhappy)...
I
don't
want
to
politicise
the
issue
at
all.
I
was
there
to
promote
a
film
and
I
play
a
jasoos
(detective)
who
dons
different
disguises," she
told
reporters
here.
Vidya
clarified
that
the
disguise
was
meant
to
be
a
tribute
to
Modi.
"I
just
felt
that
I
wanted
to
pay
a
tribute
to
our
Prime
Minister
because
Baroda
is
his
city
and
his
is
an
inspirational
story.
"I
felt
bad
that
my
intention
was
misunderstood...
I
did
not
want
to
hurt
anyone's
sentiments
which
is
why
I
decided
not
to
go
ahead
with
it
but
really
the
idea
was
only
to
pay
a
tribute
or
pay
a
salaam...
Bobby
ka
salaam
or
something
like
that...
I
don't
know
why
I
got
misunderstood
yesterday...
it
was
unfortunate,"
she
said.
The
detective
comedy
revolves
around
a
female
character
who
is
a
private
detective.
While
Vidya
plays
the
female
lead,
Ali
Fazal
plays
the
male
lead.
The
film
is
directed
by
Samar
Shaikh
and
is
co-produced
by
actress
Dia
Mirza
and
her
beau
Sahil
Sangha.
