Vidya Balan on a diet?

Vidya Balan, who was last seen in box office disaster ‘Ghanchakkar’ (2013), has always been known for her curvy figure. She flaunted it in the hugely successful ‘The Dirty Picture’ (2011) but it seems her next venture will see her looking a fraction of her former self.

News has it that Balan is on a weight-loss spree for the next venture she will be seen in opposite Emraan Hashmi. A source spoke to Mumbai Mirror, “The filmmakers did not ask Vidya to lose weight, but she knew that the role demanded that she be trim. She is an intelligent artiste who puts in a lot of effort to portray characters convincingly, so she is on a strict diet and exercise regime”.

Balan will be essaying the role of a florist in said film who works in a high-end hotel chain. She believed she would need to look the part hence trying her hardest to shed the kilos in time for the film’s shoot.
