Vidaya Balan - PRICE OF STAROOM (Paa)

PAA KI MAA

VIDYA BALAN IS GETTING USED TO BEING ADDRESSED AS SUCH, THANKS TO HER ROLE IN PAA

       Success has many by products and in Vidya Balan's case, it is unceasing attention and admiration. After her brilliant performance in Paa and Ishqiya last year, she is besieged by autograph hunters wherever she goes.

       Recently, on an early morning flight to Delhi which she slept through, she having the remarkable ability to sleep for long lengths on flights (she once slept for 16 hours on an 18-hours flight), Vidya alighted in Delhi to a lot of attention.

        And while families crowded to get pictures clicked with her, one harassed father was heard explaining to his curious tot that she was 'Paa Ki maa' The comment sent Vidya into giggles, which she tried hard to restrain every time someone clicked.

       But obviously, she was not going to be allowed to keep a straight face. A group of men decided they wanted to pose individually with her and each time someone would attempt to uyse the lone camera they had between them, the owner of the camera would shout, 'Press the white button'

       When this had gone on for some time, Vidya couldn't help muttering, 'By now, the whole airport must know that it is the white button that needs to be pressed.

       Luckily her staff and her luggage appeared then and rescued her from what was threatening to become a deluge of fans.
