‘Farhan always made fun of me’
With his straight-faced jokes Farhan Akhtar found an easy bakra in Vidya Balan, his co-star in the forthcoming film Shaadi Ke Side Effects. “I love to laugh and Farhan loves to make people laugh so the ‘funda' was very clear. I enjoyed his sense of humour. He has a very sharp mind. I have seen the film and I am glad that we got together for this one where the comedy is true to real life,” Vidya said. Having been a fan of Farhan's earlier films like luck By Chance and Zindagi Naa Milegi Dobaara, Vidya says they were well-matched in the comedy, a genre which is relatively new for both the actors.
I have always followed my heart, when it comes to work. If a film is a huge hit, you think properly before choosing your next project. I’m not from a film family. The probability of getting a second chance is low, so one has to be more careful. That doesn't mean I am scared
