Pink Villa2 days ago

Vidya Balan has come a long way. From playing endearing characters to picking up serious roles in films, the actress has proved her finesse and versatility. In a recent interaction with a media portal, she shared a hilarious anecdote from her early days of acting. Vidya recalled rejecting a film that featured her opposite Akshaye Khanna and revealed how the latter reacted to her saying 'no' to the project.
Revisiting her journey and years-long career in the industry, the Do Aur Do Pyaar actress mentioned how she never wanted to hurt anyone by saying 'no' to any project. Vidya Balan shared, "There was a film offered to me opposite Akshaye Khanna, and for some reason, I didn't connect with the script. But I didn't pick up the phone and tell him that. I asked my manager to convey it to the director."
The 46-year-old went on to share that when she met Akshaye on the sets of Salaam-e-Ishq, he fired her for rejecting the script, after which she ran to John Abraham for help. She asked to save her and opened up about not wanting to indulge in confrontation, hurt anyone's feelings, or make someone feel bad. "But eventually, he was only pulling my leg. I later realized," added Vidya.
Furthermore, the Tumhari Sulu actress agreed to the fact that no one wants to hear 'no,' given that so much effort and time are invested into creating a script. Making a heartfelt confession, Balan stated that being married to a producer has made her realize the same even more than before. Spilling beans on the way to becoming honest, Vidya told the portal, "I'm not a rude person. I say it as it is, but I am aware of how much efforts go into developing a script and I value it."
For the uninitiated, Vidya Balan was last seen in Bhool Bhulaiyya 3 alongside Madhuri Dixit and Kartik Aaryan. With a glorious career spanning decades, she is known for movies like Kahaani, The Dirty Picture, Ishqiya, and Parineeta.

Ex-gf Miley Cyrus still ‘into' Nick Jonas? Singer confesses years after their break-up

Teen love stories may fade, but some memories never do—especially when they've been immortalised by pop culture. Miley Cyrus, who skyrocketed to fame with Hannah Montana, has stirred nostalgic waves among fans with her latest comments on ex-boyfriend Nick Jonas. Speaking on the June 6 episode of the Every Single Album podcast, the 7 Things singer shared that any drama from their whirlwind teenage romance is firmly in the past. 'I like Nick, I'm into him,' Cyrus said candidly. 'He's married with children. We're all moving on. Everything is good in the world.' The 32-year-old even gave a nod to the once-iconic couple nickname, adding, 'Niley for life.' A look at Miley Cyrus and Nick Jonas' relationship According to E! Online, Miley Cyrus and Nick Jonas first crossed paths in June 2006 at a charity event and began dating shortly after. Their relationship lasted about a year before ending in late 2007. The breakup deeply affected Cyrus, and in her autobiography, Miles to Go, she described going through an emotional low, saying she cried constantly, felt lost, and even changed her appearance by dyeing her hair black as a reflection of her state of mind.

The Jonas Brothers opened for Cyrus on her Best of Both Worlds tour in 2007 and even guest-starred on Hannah Montana. The two also collaborated musically on tracks like 'We Got the Party' and 'Before the Storm.' Since then, both stars have taken vastly different paths. Cyrus went on to date Justin Gaston and later married and divorced The Hunger Games actor Liam Hemsworth. Jonas, on the other hand, met global icon Priyanka Chopra at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party in 2017. They tied the knot in 2018 and welcomed daughter Malti Marie in 2022. They served major couple goals at the Met Gala with their looks.
