Exclusive Vidya Balan's Interview about Kismat Konnection & Movie Wallpapers :
Celebrity actress, Vidya Balan has given an exclusive interview on her kismat of working with Aziz Mirza and her connection with Shahid Kapoor.
Do you believe in kismat?
I’m a firm believer in kismat. The fact that you, and not someone else, has come to interview me is because we were destined to meet.
What has made you such a firm believer in kismat?
My first film, Parineeta. I had seen the work that Dada (director Pradeep Sarkar) had done — music videos like Euphoria’s Mairee, Shubha Mudgal’s Ab Ke Sawan and Piya Basanti — and I was keen to work with him. At a particular film festival, I met Dada’s assistant who told me that Dada too wanted to work with me. When I said that I would love to work with Dada whenever he made his next music video, he regretfully informed me that Dada had stopped making videos. However, two-and-a-half years later, Dada was making a video, and he called me for an audition. I got selected; and I worked with him which led to us collaborating on Parineeta. Similarly I wanted to work with Aziz uncle but he had stopped making films after his wife’s demise. I thought I wouldn’t be able to work with Aziz uncle but when he decided to make a film, he called me for the film! Paulo Coelho has said, ‘When you truly want something, the world conspires to make it happen’.
Why were you so keen on working with Aziz Mirza?
Aziz Uncle is one of the few filmmakers who makes positive films even today (Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman, Yes Boss, Chalte Chalte). When I went to meet Aziz uncle, he told me that his script was not ready but he had called me only because he wanted to meet me. I told Aziz uncle, ‘If after the script is completed, you feel that I don’t suit the role, I will still assist you. I want to work with you’.
Once the script was ready, what was the first thing that appealed to you?
The simplicity. The film is about you and me, it is about people whom we know. It’s about real emotions of real people.
What is the basic premise of Kismat Konnection?
You can do what you want — even stand on your head — but if two people are destined to meet, you cannot stop them from meeting. A connection happens only because kismat intended it.
What is your role?
I play Priya, an extrovert who believes in life and lives it to the hilt. She believes that whomsoever she meets should have a smile on his/her face.
How much do you identify with your character?
Priya and I both think from our hearts.
This was your first film with Shahid Kapur. You clearly got along well…
Shahid is a very unselfish actor. He does not try to overshadow the other actor in the frame. If he tells you ‘let’s do a better take’, it is not always about ‘him’, which I think is a very good quality for an actor and a person. He is disciplined yet he is warm.
How do you react to being linked with Shahid?
Earlier, when I was linked with other actors, I would get upset. But with Shahid, I was never upset. Ever since we have come back from the Toronto shoot, something new is being written about us, but I laugh at these stories. Yes, we are very good friends, we get along very well as co-actors but that doesn’t mean that we are carrying on. If there would have been something then why would I hide it? He is not a married man, he is single.
You are sporting a modern look in the film; but you have received a lot of flak for your dress sense (think Heyy Babyy). Are you confused about what to wear?
Not really. There have been times when I feel that I’m looking bad but people compliment me. At other times, I feel I am looking good and people don’t agree. I wear things that I like wearing, I feel if I am feeling confident and good, I will look good.
After six releases in 2007, you seem to be going slow now. Do you feel the heat of the competition from other heroines?
I’m not competing with anyone. I want to do something different in each film. I have signed Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s production Chenab Gandhi with Mr Bachchan and Harman Baweja. I also have Vishal Bharadwaj’s next production, Isskiya, which is going to be directed by his assistant Abhishek Choubey and will co-star Naseeruddin Shah.
Finally, as a South Indian, how is your Hindi enunciation so good?
If you listen to my Papa and my Mom talking in Hindi, you will be shocked. My dad pronounces Khoon Bhari Maang as Khun Beri Mang. But I loved Hindi from the very beginning. I would frequent my teacher Usha Tandon’s house to read passages from my Hindi textbook, aloud. I wanted to fine-tune my diction because I wanted to become an actress. There have been times where it is difficult to pronounce a word but I have improved a lot. However, even today, I do mix up the genders a lot.
