7 Vidya Balan Headlines That Shocked Bollywood

1) The linkup with Shahid Kapoor

Back when the duo starred together in Kismat Konnection, not only was she ridiculed for being elder to Shahid, but they were also linked together! It was only much later that it was revealed that she was indeed helping Shahid recover from his breakup with Kareena. Well, if that’s what you want to name it…

2) The linkup with Saif

It’s often common for debutantes to be linked up with their co-stars, and even Vidya wasn’t spared from this practice. Saif Ali Khan, who starred opposite her in Parineeta, was also said to have been involved with her. Ooh la la, we say!

3) Too ‘Dirty’ a Picture?

‘Activists’ in southern parts of India held protests and burned several posters of The Dirty Picture when it was scheduled to be released. Not only that, but Silk Smitha’s brother also moved to the Andhra Pradesh High Court to oppose his sister’s portrayal in the film. 

 

4) Fashion Police’s Ire

Vidya’s dressing sense was always ridiculed by the fashion police. But even they aren’t to be blamed completely, when Vidya herself used to dress in such horrible outfits. We repeat, USED TO. 

5) Pregnancy Rumours

Every time Vidya turns down a movie, rumours are brought back to life that she might be pregnant! How unfair is that? 

6) The Weight Issue

It won’t be wrong to say that no other actress has faced as much flak from the judgmental media, as Vidya has. But each time, Vidya braved it with grace and finally silenced everyone with her performance in The Dirty Picture; for which she had put on 12 kilos! Way to go, girl!

7) The Divorce rumours

There were very strong rumours that Vidya’s marriage with Siddharth Roy Kapoor was on the rocks, because Siddharth had apparently fallen for another woman! But it could all be a jealous woman’s tale, for all we know.

 

Be it your hilarious performance on TV or your absolutely stunning portrayals in the movies, you never fail to wow us, Vidya!
