Superstar Amitabh Bachchan finds Vidya Balan “absolutely marvelous” and “wonderfully natural” on the silver screen.
The Big B has been deeply impressed by Vidya’s acting talent and natural beauty ever since he first saw her in Parineeta at a screening in Amsterdam.
“I wanted to look only at her and nobody else on screen, with all due respects to the rest of the cast,” Bachchan is quoted as saying in an IANS report.
“I've a special soft corner for her (Vidya). She's absolutely marvellous and wonderfully natural. She's so endearing to watch on screen,” the megastar added.
Not just ‘Parineeta’, Amitabh has loved Vidya’s performances in Mani Ratnam’s Guru and Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s Eklavya .
Meanwhile, Bachchan is also full of appreciation for Jiah Khan , his 19-year-old co-star in the forthcoming movie Nishabd .
Big B says despite the fact that it is Jiah’s first film, she has acted quite well. The superstar is most appreciative of the way Jiah handled her role in the film.
