‘Ghanchakkar’ features Emraan as a forgetful Maharashtrian guy Sanjay Athray and Vidya Balan as his loud Punjabi wife Neetu who has a colourful dressing sense in strange contrast to her toned down avatar in real life.
Talking about the dresses she has worn in ‘Ghanchakar’, Vidya says, “Yes, I usually hate to don any bright colour dresses and the oddly fashioned attire like I have to sport in my film. I usually love to drape a sari. Be it any family function or any events, you will always see me in a sari.”
In the movie, Vidya is desperately searching Emraan’s wallet as some money goes missing. So does she do that in real too? Well, to this Vidya replies, “That was a secret until today and now since you have asked me this question, I think after hearing my answer my husband Siddharth Roy Kapoor will also keep an eye on me.” Laughingly she adds, “He will now find out how much amount I have actually taken away from his purse!”
Defending her style that has been criticized, she says, “Like the character in the flick, I too love to be myself and enjoy my dressing sense. I do not like to dress for others. Yes, I do care for people close to me. I don’t think I am doing this character just to give an answer to my critics. I am selfish and I am playing this character as selfishly as the role demands.”
The actress in her is loving the new comic avatar and Vidya shares, “Yes, playing the Punjabi ‘kudi’, I have literally followed some of my neighbours from Sion. I have watched them behave in certain manner during my childhood as well as my youth and all those memories have helped me perform the character in a hilarious manner.” Guess, the bold heroine thrives in challenging herself and her audience.
