HOME | SCOOP!! & NEWS | BOLLYWOOD How 'Parineeta' changed Vidya Balan's life27th Mar 2006 09.44 IST By ApunKaChoice Bureau Vidya Balan is one of the most talked about names in Bollywood today and it was her maiden film Parineeta that gave her fame and recognition in Bollywood. 'Parineeta' changed Vidya’s life for good but she didn’t get the role before undergoing several auditions before she was finalised. 
Vidya told an entertainment website how 'Parineeta' changed her life: “Dada (Pradeep Sarkar) was very sure he wanted only me for the role. His confidence and faith in me really boosted my energy levels. It helps when someone stands and backs you. I had done nearly 80 ads by the time I came to an acting career, still one needs inspiration from the right quarters. He was sure no one else could play Lolita. I think people who debut at an early age have had to wait a few years to get that kind of a role. In that way, I am lucky. Touch wood.” When asked if she came into 'Parineeta' without auditions, Vidya said: “No. Dada is a thorough professional. I had to undergo several auditions before I was finalised. That did my ego a lot of good.” Vidya also said that her forthcoming film Munnabhai Meets Mahatma , is not a sequel of Munnabhai MBBS : “It's not a sequel per se. I play Sanjay Dutt 's love interest in ‘Munnabhai Meets Mahatma’. The characters Munna and Circuit are there in this movie also, but it is not a sequel to ‘Munnabhai MBBS’ I repeat. One of the great things about the film is that everyone sees it as a fresh film, including Rajkumar Hirani. It may be titled ‘Munnabhai Meets Mahatma’ or ‘Munnabhai Lage Raho’. And Vidya was also all praise for ‘Munnabhai MBBS’, the original: “I loved Munnabhai MBBS. There was not a single unwanted moment in the film. Picture ho to aisi!” Vidya added that her role in Eklavya is similar to the one she did in 'Parineeta': “To an extent, yes. The similarity between the characters I play in this movie and the one I played in Parineeta is that both are very Indian. Plus like in ‘Parineeta’, I don't have the typical song and dance routine here.” When asked who is her idol, Vidya said: “I loved Madhuri Dixit in Devdas . I'm a huge fan of hers. If I can conduct my career with half her dignity and grace I'd have achieved more than what I had thought.” Vidya confirmed that she has signed a Deepa Mehta film: “I am not supposed to talk much about it. But yes, I am doing that one. It's a comic caper.” Related Vidya Balan Parineeta Munnabhai Meets Mahatma Munnabhai MBBS Sanjay Dutt Eklavya Madhuri Dixit Deepa Mehta | CRICKET ZONE Live Cricket Coverage Song Lyrics ALSO READ scoop ~ When Malaika Arora seduced Arjun Rampal ~ 'Karzzzz' to release on Simi Garewal’s birthday ~ Katrina Kaif happy to be paired opposite Ranbir ~ Does Shahrukh Khan want to retire? ~ Genelia does her first sexy cover shoot ~ Sex, Drugs and 'Fashion' ~ Pa's health is priority for Aishwarya and Abhishek ~ Hrithik Roshan kneeds no rest!
