Vidya Balan - DAZZLING and MESMERISED: MF Hussain

MAQBOOL'S MUSE

              It pays to be different, it pays to not have blonde streaks, be glamourous and pass off as a diva.

            Guess who's benefiting the maximum from being herself? Vidya Balan. Yes, the actress who wears her individuality as an asset, has now caught the eye of MF Husain.

           He, apparently, saw Ishqiya and was bowled over by the sumptuous Viday, who according to him is the perfect Indian woman.

          And chances are that after Madhuri Dixit, it is Vidya who he wants. The artist told a Bolywood trade paper that he had seen Parineeta, Paa and Ishqiya and felt that as a woman who knows her mind, and who without wearing skimpy western clothes, Vidya impressed him.

        Now, it is being suggested that Vidya will feature in Husain's next directorial venture, slated for 2011.
