Having made a grand entry into Bollywood with two whopping successes in 'Parineeta' and 'Lage Raho Munnabhai' next, Vidya Balan is confident she will reach her goal and has no qualms about being the secondary character in a film.

Vidya's performance in ‘Guru' was notable but too short to be tagged with the success of the film. Her roles in ‘Salaam-e-Ishq' and ‘Eklavya' could have given her nothing other than an opportunity to rub shoulders with other big actors of Bollywood and that is precisely why she took them.

In ajid Khan's film ‘Hey Babyy', Vidya has been given a glamorous western look by fashion designer Manish Malhotra.

Tells Vidya, "I love my look in the film. It's different. The credit for the same goes to Sajid and Manish." Sajid has roped in a few heroines to shake a leg for a number in the film. She comments, "I have not featured in the song. But I attended the shoot. All of them looked stunning. I told Sajid that I better look good in the film!"

But Vidya isn't too excited about her forthcoming ‘Halla Bol' either. The film, she believes, is Ajay Devgan's show. He plays a small town boy who makes it big in Bollywood, but not without straying off the straight and narrow, in the process becoming estranged from his family.

A shocking murder, in the vein of the 1999 Jessica Lal murder, stirs the real life hero within him and he decides to take on the politically well-connected killer with the help of his estranged wife (Vidya) and mentor (Pankaj Kapur).

"It's undoubtedly Ajay Devgan's film. It's the story of a man who goes from being a reel life hero to a real one, and I play his wife," Vidya says. "But sometimes, it's important to do films that move the status quo ahead, like ‘Guru'. I hardly had a role, but I'd gladly do it again."

"In ‘Halla Bol', the relationship between Ajay and my character defines much of the screenplay, but I've no qualms about being the secondary character," she adds.

Vidya is objective when reviewing her performance, something that can only come from great self-assurance.

So did she plan her career moves carefully to bag such good offers? "I have never sat down and planned my career. People have been just nice to me. I have been fortunate enough to bag good roles. I am not the type who plans anything. I didn't make any strategies in the past nor will I do so in the future. I just go with the flow," she answers.

Vidya is also fed up of being linked up with her various co-stars and says, "I guess people are desperately trying to link me up with someone or the other as I am single."
