Vidyas Strange Affliction

MUMBAI: Actor Arshad Warsi, who will be seen romancing actress Vidya Balan in Vishal Bhardwaj’s Ishqiya, has shared an interesting insight about his co-star.

“I got to see a new side of Vidya, which I was just not familiar with during shooting the film Munnabhai. She laughs too much on your face while shooting. It happened so many times while shooting that Naseer saab would wait for her laughing fit to get over,” Arshad says, adding, “He would start looking at his watch, and say, ‘Chalo 5 minutes ho gaye, ab shooting shuru karein. Hasne ka time poora ho gaya’.”

Incidentally, Balan has been making news ever since the promos of the film came out. Reason: the actress has portrayed a completely different character from the ones she’s played before, used foul language, and smooched her co-star Arshad in the film.
