Asked if she was confident or sceptical about doing the movie, she said, "I had my share of questions. There was one thing that I knew - that if I was going to do it then I must give it my all.

If I felt I won't be able to give it my all then I won't have done the film." "I am glad I did not let it pass and did this film because it has been life-changing for me in more ways than one," added the 34-year-old.

Vidya has bagged the Best Actress trophy for The Dirty Picture at almost all award functions, but ask which co-actor's work she admires besides her and pat comes the reply Priyanka Chopra. "I like Priyanka.

..

she is an actress whose work I like. She is always trying to do something different which I appreciate.

I am not going by any of her particular performance but I like Priyanka." Vidya is touched by the appreciation coming from fans and industry friends.

"I feel humbled that people think I must get Best Actress award. My first award was for my debut (Hindi) film ( Parineeta ).

It will always remain special. It feels nice to receive an award, it is a form of appreciation which remains with you forever," she said.

This year, Vidya will be seen in Sujoy Ghosh's Kahani , where she plays a pregnant lady staying abroad, who comes to India in search of her husband. " Kahani is a mystery film and I won't be wrong if I say that in Hindi cinema we have not had a mystery film for a long time.

Kahani is edgy, pacey and we have got great response from the promos," she said. Tweet (less)
