Innocence and banked passion. Heartbroken, yes. Down and out, no. Vidya Balan opens up as never before to The Man's Priyanka Jain."Passionate is the one word you could use to describe me", says Vidya Balan dressed in an elegant red and maroon Sabyasachi salwaar kameez. A romantic to the core some of her movies include Parineeta, Munnabhai, Salaam-e-ishq, Guru, Eklavya, Heyy Babyy, Halla Bol, Bhool Bhulaiya, Kismet Konnection and most recently Paa. Critics and audiences have loved her work with some even saying her latest film Paa should have been called Maa due to her wonderful performance in it.
Quoting a dialogue from her forthcoming film Ishqiya, we ask her 'Ishq mein sab kuch bewajah hota hai'? "Everything is fair in love and war," she says. "In love, there are no reasons. Rationality goes for a toss. When you truly love someone, sometimes you become insane, you become possessive and do mad things. And when that person hurts you, it makes you do worse. I think there was a time when I got really possessive. I can't imagine myself asking those questions today. I was naive and innocent and wanted answers for everything. I wanted a call every five minutes," she laughs.
Looking at my rather amused expression she admits, "Yes, I have done that! I would become this stubborn little child and that was painful to my partner and me. Thank God, I've grown up now." Conversely, she herself does not like possessiveness. "I do not take it well at all. I don't like being asked questions about my whereabouts, etc. I don't mind sharing information as long as I am not asked anything."
Another amusing and hard-hitting dialogue from Ishqiya goes like this, 'Tumhara ishq ishq aur humara ishq sex' to which she expands, "Women think feelings are a female bastion and that men operate without them while men think women are too obsessed with emotions. If an ex-boyfriend is seeing someone, it's convenient to say it must be about sex. Women want to believe that love is what they alone feel. So when in the promo Arshad tells Naseer your feelings are love, mine become sex, it sounds funny. Men compartmentalise easily.
