Kahaani


I couldn’t stay away from here! So what if my house is in a mess, so what if the furniture is covered with dust, so what if things are at their chaotic best, I had to lift the purdah off my PC and I am glad I did so.



I am hearing so much praise for Kahaani, for the supremely talented Vidya Balan. Have loved all her performances from Parineeta to The Dirty Picture (yes, even Heyy Babyy and Eklavya!). For somebody who was written off merely for her dressing sense; its wonderful to see how she has bounced back with such strong roles. Even winning a National Award (ironically, Niharika Khan also won the National Award for Vidya’s costumes in The Dirty Picture!). It feels good to know that she is finally getting her due. More power to her.

However, one thing that disturbs me is she being called ‘The new Hero in Bollywood’. Why the need to address her with that term? I find it sexist. Or maybe its just me.
