Vidya Balan finds a good friend in Karan Johar!

Of late, we’ve seen Bollywood siren Vidya Balan candidly talking about her wish to have a husband and settle down in life. And the latest is that the actress has been spotted hanging out with filmmaker Karan Johar quite a lot these days, according to sources.

Buzz has it that the two struck a new friendship after meeting at a recent function. Vidya was recently spotted at KJo’s office in Khar, which is diagonally opposite to Vidya’s new house. Grapevine has it that Karan is also very keen on casting Vidya for his forthcoming productions.

A source close to Vidya says, “Vidya’s fine performances in ‘Paa’ and ‘Ishqiya’, which were very different from each other, has made Karan sit up and take notice. Apparently, they are talking about working together.” The source also confirmed.

That KJo had invited Vidya to many of his parties even earlier and that Vidya has always loved Karan’s films. Talking about her meeting with Karan, Vidya said, “Karan Johar is one of the wittiest people I have met. He had me in splits. No wonder, he writes beautifully.”

Vidya’s Cousin makes her Bollywood Entry

Another southern actress is gearing up to make her presence felt in Bollywood. And as far as reviews go, she is already well on her way.

This is none other than Vidya Balan’s cousin Priya Mani. The actress recently was cast in a small but important role in Mani Ratnam’s much hyped “Raavan”.

And she has caught the attention of Bollywood with her small role, in which she describes her gang rape by cops. Her powerful acting has already raised eyebrows.

And generated attention towards her. While the leads of the film are cribbing about the editing in the movie, this newcomer is very satisfied with her role.

“My role couldn’t be cut. Mani Sir told me it brought colour and vibrancy into the story,” said she. Well, evidently, she made quite an impression in that small role and Ram Gopal Verma has already cast her in his next film “Rakta Charitra”.

Priya, though is not a newcomer in the field of cinema. The actress, who has been acting from the age of 18, has done many roles in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada. In 2006, she even won the national award for her performance in a southern film. But the actress was not eager to continue doing serious roles. “I quickly gravitated towards conventional glamorous roles because I no longer had to prove myself as an actress,” she said.

When asked, if she is banking on her cousin Vidya to help her out in this unknown B’Town, she was quick to reply, “No, I’m not really in touch with Vidya. I’m more in touch with her father. Whenever I visit Mumbai, I make it point to meet him. But I don’t expect them to help me in Bollywood at all…”

Vidya Balan refuses to work with RGV

It seems, not only the audiences but also the actors have lost trust in RGV now. Latest, we hear that the sensuous Vidya Balan who has taken the nation by storm with her performances has refused to work with Ramu. She was offered a role in his upcoming film Shaque which is about the trouble that suspicion causes in a married couples lives, which she refused to play.

This is not for the first time that any actress has refused to do his film, before Vidya, Ramu had approached Sridevi to do the role as her comeback but when she turned down the offer he went to the newbie Sahana Goswami, to all our surprise, she too is amongst the actresses who refused Ramu for this role.

Can anyone would have imagined that the man behind the stupendous crafts like Satya and Rangeela will ever find it tough to get one actress in his film, but it’s true! ?
