Guess what is Bollywood actress Vidya Balan's hobby? Well it is a little unusual we agree, but nevertheless true to the actress' tastes.

After suffering much criticism for sporting western outfits in a couple of films, Vidya Balan is back to wearing what she looks best in, the traditional Indian outfit, the sari. And now we hear that collecting saris is her secret passion.

Reports claim that the Indian femme fatale has a collection of saris which can take any Indian woman by surprise. Yes, Vidya Balan currently owns more than 500 pieces of the traditional Indian drape.

Her sari collection comprises of a variety of fabrics and the actress says that she tries to take the best possible care of each piece of sari that is currently inside her wardrobe, washing and preserving them well.

And if you thought that the only designer's saris that the actress likes sporting is her favorite Sabyasachi Mukherjee, think again.

Vidya Balan has said in an interview that it is not only the Kolkata man, but also several other designers' saris that she has purchased to add to her existing collection of saris.

One question we would like to ask Vidya is why does she choose to stick to only Sabyasachi Mukherjee when it comes to sporting a sari at an event. We would advise her to try some other designers too!
