Mrs. Perfectionist of Bollywood, Vidya Balan has played some outstanding unconventional roles. But what people don't know is that she was considered a jinx and was asked to get a nose job for Parineeta by Vidhu Vinod Chopra. This week on Look Who's Talking with Nirajan Iyengar, Vidya Balan talks about trying times, her husband and who she is today.

Incidentally, it was Niranjan's mentor and friend Karan Johar who played cupid for the now married, Vidya and Siddharth Roy Kapoor. That was also the first time she met Niranjan.


On being asked about her weight and fashion issues, she states, "For a very long time, I was constantly putting on/losing weight for movies until 'The Dirty Picture' happened. That was the moment I decided I didn't care anymore and I was going to let my roles dictate who I am. It doesn't matter what I wear or how much I weigh."
