"I am not worried about rumours with Shahid" - Vidya
Features
-Staff
By Staff
Vidya
started
her
career
in
the
Hindi
film
industry
with
Parineeta
and
since
then
the
actress
has
not
fallen
short
of
praise
from
audiences
and
critics
alike.
She
is
now
all
prepared
to
allure
the
audience
with
her
character
in
Rajkumar
Santoshi's
Halla
Bol.
Q.:
Please
tell
us
about
your
character
in
the
film
Halla
Bol?
A.:
I'm
playing
the
role
of
Ajay
Devgan's
wife
Sneha
in
this
movie.
She
is
always
a
support
to
Ajay.
She
helps
him
to
realize
his
true
being
whenever
he
needs
to
understand
whether
something
is
true
or
false,
right
or
wrong.
Actually
I
am
a
mirror
to
him.
She
always
says
the
truth
to
her
husband.
Her
love
is
the
power
in
her
to
express
the
hardcore
truth.
Q.:
You
will
be
seen
as
the
mother
of
a
four
year
old
boy
and
your
screen
time
is
supposed
to
be
short.
Don't
you
think
that
your
character
will
go
unnoticed?
A.:
There's
nothing
like
that.
I
always
play
roles
which
inspire
me.
At
the
same
time,
its
better
not
to
think
that
all
your
characters
will
always
be
glamorous.
I
always
look
for
better
characters.
If
I
have
to
look
at
the
length,
I
cannot
always
be
the
leading
lady
of
all
my
movies.
Even
when
I
signed
the
movie,
I
knew
the
movie
is
for
Ajay
Devgan.
I
only
believe
in
characters
that
are
indispensable
to
the
story.
Q.:
Rajkumar
Santoshi's
heroines
have
always
been
presented
as
strong
characters.
Is
that
the
reason
why
you
agreed
to
be
a
part
of
the
project?
A.:
May
be.
I
look
for
characters
with
some
substance.
I
believe
in
women
with
some
power
in
them.
That's
the
reason
why
Lajja
is
my
favourite
film.
Q.:
Please
tell
us
about
your
look
in
the
film?
A.:
In
the
film
I
am
actually
from
a
small
town
and
I
get
married
to
a
superstar.
The
director
of
the
film,
Raj
ji,
thought
of
two
different
looks
for
me.
One
was
the
look
of
a
woman
from
a
small
town
and
the
other
one
is
the
look
of
the
wife
of
superstar.
But
with
the
progression
of
shooting,
he
threw
away
the
idea
about
the
second
look.
That
happened
only
when
he
realized
the
fact
that
when
a
character
is
going
through
so
many
problems,
she
cannot
think
of
outfits.
Q.:
Usually
Ajay
Devgan
is
accepted
with
his
serious
look.
What
do
you
think?
A.:
That's
true
but
he
plays
few
great
comic
characters
too.
And
that's
very
natural
and
goes
with
the
character
of
the
actual
Ajay
Devgan
we
see
on
the
sets.
Working
with
him
was
a
great
experience.
Q.:
Has
he
played
any
prank
during
the
shooting
of
this
movie?
A.:
I
would
like
to
mention
one
incident.
Once
he
made
me
look
like
a
real
big
fool.
One
scene
was
okayed
in
the
first
take
but
Ajay
Devgan
and
Raj
ji
made
me
do
it
several
times.
They
kept
on
inspiring
me
to
give
the
take
again
and
again
and
I
went
on
following
their
instructions.
But
when
I
saw
that
they
are
just
laughing
at
me
I
realized
that
there
must
be
something
terribly
wrong.
And
I
found
that
they
were
just
playing
a
prank
on
me.
Q.:
How
was
the
experience
of
working
with
Rajkumar
Santoshi?
A.:
That
was
a
nice
experience.
He
used
to
explain
every
minute
thing
before
the
shooting
and
at
the
same
time
he
used
to
inspire
all
the
crew
members
and
actors.
I
enjoy
talking
to
him
as
he
is
very
intelligent.
Whether
it's
History,
religion
or
current
affairs
he
has
knowledge
of
every
field.
Q.:
Is
there
any
message
in
the
film?
A.:
Actually
the
film
shows
that
there
are
problems
in
everybody's
life
and
there
are
some
people
who
try
to
solve
them
and
some
who
just
evade
them.
In
this
film
all
the
characters
are
conscious
about
the
odds
and
they
all
come
together
to
face
that.
It
teaches
us
the
positive
sides
of
unity.
Q.:
Are
you
aware
that
Priyanka
Chopra
was
the
first
choice
for
the
character
you
are
playing?
A.:
Yeah,
I
know.
I
got
a
call
from
the
film
makers
regarding
the
movie.
It
was
after
they
were
done
with
two
weeks
of
shooting
I
had
some
information
about
the
casting
of
the
film.
I
remember
that
I
went
to
Raj
ji's
office
and
after
listening
to
the
whole
story
I
just
came
back.
I
reached
my
car
but
suddenly
went
back
to
him
and
said
that
I
liked
the
script
and
agreed
to
do
it.
Q.:
Is
there
any
memorable
incident
that
must
have
taken
place
during
the
shoot?
A.:
It
was
the
time
when
we
shot
at
Haji
Ali.
Despite
being
a
resident
of
Mumbai,
I
never
went
to
that
place.
And
even
though
there
were
crowds
I
felt
the
solemnity
of
the
place.
There's
a
song
in
that
place
which
is
a
plus
point
in
the
film.
Q.:
In
the
last
movie
your
outfits
were
not
accepted
well...
A.:
I
took
all
the
negative
comments
regarding
my
outfits
in
a
positive
way.
I
was
really
very
idle
but
now
I'm
concerned
about
that.
I
wear
only
those
outfits
which
make
me
feel
comfortable.
I
enjoy
less
make-up.
I
like
to
wear
T-shirt
with
slacks
and
jeans.
And
I
also
love
cotton
salwaar
suits.
Q.:
You
are
basically
known
as
serious
actor.
What's
your
opinion
on
comedies?
A.:
(Smiling)
I
have
acted
in
comedies,
too.
It's
a
different
issue
that
my
character
was
not
comic.
No
director
has
allowed
me
to
be
a
comic
and
I'm
waiting
for
the
day
when
someone
will
approach
me
with
a
comic
character.
I
hope
directors
are
getting
my
point.
Q.:
It
was
John
and
now
Shahid.
How
do
you
like
when
people
attach
your
name
with
someone
in
that
way?
A.:
I
used
to
get
tensed
with
these
things
but
now
I'm
used
to
all
that.
I
used
to
get
very
angry
initially.
And
sometimes
I
cried,
too.
Now
I
think
that
till
I
stay
alone
my
name
will
be
linked
to
one
or
the
other
guy.
And
it's
after
all
a
part
of
celeb
life.
And
now
I
don't
get
worried
about
these
issues.
