Bollywood actress Vidya Balan is furious over the debate going on in the media about her weight. `Whys is everyone bothered about my weight? Is it a national issue?` she asks.

In fact Vidya had put on some extra kilos to suit her role in The Dirty Picture (2011) but her new assignment with Emran Hashmi as a flourist requires a slimmer figure, hence she is shedding the extra kilos.

The 35-year old actress is too excited about her new upcoming film Bobby Jasoos in which she acts as a detective. A Sahil Sangha and Dia Mira production is being directed by debutant Samar Shaikh. The movie goes on the floor in November.
