Vidya Balan:The Only Way I Can Go Wild Is If I Get Drunk!'
STARDUST INDIA

Vidya Balan:The Only Way I Can Go Wild Is If I Get Drunk!'

Real. If there’s one adjective I had to describe this girl, it would be real. From her glowing skin and hair to her squeaky clean heart inside, its all sans make-up. Literally and metaphorically too. Whether she’s confident or aggressive, comfortable or awkward, cheeful or awful, its all out there for the world to see, in one sense. In another, Vidya Balan is a very private person. She’s comfortable in her skin, but she’s not artificial in her appearances. And she has enough faith and hope in the Universe, that she can put her vulnerabilities out there, not be crippled by them, and trust that she will come out undamaged. And so she does. She thinks a lot, and talks even more. Articulately. She’s not afraid to grope when she stumbles, but she needs no helping hands. She rights herself with no crutches, but her own thoughts and balance. And so when Vidya Balan walks, she walks tall. Taller than her diminutive five feet four inches. And when she performs, she can devour the breadth of 70mm with just one breath.Vidya is a strange amalgamation of paradoxes. She comes across as a serene, placid person, but that beautiful placidity shields a lot of impatience. So there’s a sense of movement even in her stillness and serenity. She comes across as unperturbed, but her face and smile effectively cover any turmoil she might feel, till she has given it the right direction and expression. in the middle of that mature person nests a child-like, skipping leprechaun. She’s unaffected enough to not put on two faces, but her hurt is sometimes visible, catching you unawares. But the affability does not mean you can get over-friendly or familiar with her.

Irrfan Khan: The Messiah Of Meaningful Cinema

His calm and collected behaviour speaks a lot about the person he is. He speaks less, listens more. He expresses less, observes more. That makes him a nuanced performer who's able to seamlessly blend with every character he opts to play. The actor doesn't just pick idiosyncrasies to incorporate in the part, he makes them his own. He becomes the character. After delivering three power packed performances on celluloid this year, whether mainstream entertainers or thought-provoking cinema, this man has certainly made his mark! In the plush interiors of a suburban five-star, Irrfan Khan sits down for a candid chat with Pooja Sharma.

STARDUST INDIA

Sonali Bendre: Bold And Beautiful

Unlike most actors, who at the cost of being diplomatic sound so rehearsed and predictable, this 90s bombshell is like a breath of fresh air. She belongs to the time when a heros sole purpose in a movie, was to save the heroine from the trap of a scheming, larger-than-life villain. And the heroines prime objective was to portray the damsel in distress, dance on kitschy numbers, and in exceptional cases, play the ultra-glam arm-candy. Sonali Bendre , who's slipped into both roles with equal ease in her glory days, has had her fair share of cinematic outings, both memorable and not-so-memorable. With a mind of her own, she doesn't give two hoots about stating her honest opinions, and has always epitomised the fiery Mumbai mulgi. On a lazy noon, at the Oriflame product launch (of which she's the brand ambassador), the tall and beautiful actress opened up to Pooja Sharma, in a candid chat.

Varun Dhawan: On A High Note

In a competitive business like showbiz, they say, it's easier if one has a filmy background or backing to make it to the top. However, today, the rules have changed. In fact, there are no rules in the game. Star-kids are judged for their choices just as much as others. Its an arduous effort for them to stay afloat owing to constant speculations about career choices and conjectures about other aspects of life. With constant spot-light on the actor, he's still the medias most adorable, and the audiences most loved. Varun Dhawan, who's not one to restrict himself on celluloid, has had a thunderous win this year with back-to-back blockbusters. Just before the release of his next, Dilwale, the garrulous actor talks to Pooja Sharma about romance, risks and recommendations.
