Mumbai,
Feb 27 (IANS) Bollywood star Vidya Balan wants to improve her
vocabulary, on the one hand, to express her feelings towards the success
of "The Dirty Picture". On the other, she is looking forward to a break
and says post that she will do some "dirty dancing".
After working non-stop for more than two years, she now wants to take a break.
"I
am close to saying yes to a film which will not start for another three
months. So I really think I need that break because for the past
two-and-a-half-years I have been busy with my films. So now I do need
that time off to soak everything in. Then I will probably do some dirty
dancing," the 33-year-old talented actor told reporters.
An
unofficial biopic of southern sex siren Silk Smitha, ‘The Dirty Picture’
saw Vidya shedding all inhibitions to get under the skin of the
character and said: "I have become unapologetic about being myself.
Probably others think that I don`t breathe the same air (laughs). I just
take that as a compliment, but I have a long way to go but yes god has
been kind."
"I was hoping the film would do well, but I had no
idea that the film would do so well. I feel blessed and I am looking for
new words for blessed, humbled and overwhelmed."
Unwilling to
get typecast or repeat same roles, Vidya will soon be seen stepping out
of the sex icon image by playing a pregnant woman in director Sujoy
Ghosh`s ‘Kahaani’, a thriller that will show what all her character goes
through when she flies down to Kolkata to find her missing husband.
"I
can`t do the same thing again and again. When I am getting variety,
then why will I not take that advantage? This woman (in `Kahaani`) is a
vulnerable woman who is searching for her husband, but she has not lost
her sense of humour. She is a woman of today."
Vidya has been extremely choosy with scripts, but clarifies that it doesn`t mean she is narrowing down her options.
"The
proposition of success has been humongous, thankfully. But even after
`Paa`, `Ishqiya` and `No One Killed Jessica`, people said what next? Are
your options narrowing down? I don`t think about these things. If god
has brought me so far, he will take me further.
"I am here to
act. I am not saying I will do only solo heroine projects or like that. I
want to do different genres of films," she said.
Ghosh was
shouldering the burden of two flops – ‘Aladin’ and ‘Home Delivery’ -
when he approached Vidya, but she was not sceptical about the director
and took the plunge.
"When Balki came to me with `Paa`, I had a
`Kismat Konnection` and `Heyy Babyy` behind me. And when Sujoy came to
me, my films were doing well. But he is an intelligent man he is one of
the most intelligent men I have met. Two of his films didn`t work, but
he has put things together this time around. I am hoping it will work
out. But I think the intention is right," she said.
