“He didn’t brush and I asked him…” – Firstpost

Vidya Balan while speaking to The Hollywood Repirter, recalled doing an intimate scene with an actor who had Chinese food. Laughing as she narrated the story, she said, “He had just eaten Chinese food. I could smell garlic, soy sauce, everything, and he hadn’t brushed! We had a romantic scene to shoot, and I kept wondering why he couldn’t just brush before coming close to me. I asked him to leave.”

Vidya Balan saw a massive rise in her clout and following post the success of Paa in 2009 and there was no looking back for the actress. However, in an interview with Humans Of Bombay, she revealed how she was body shamed by someone she was close to.

She said, “You know I think it’s always the closest people who hurt you the most and all I’ll say is that I’m not referring to family here. It’s irrelevant who the person is at this point, but suffice to say that when someone matters a lot to you and they are super-critical when they body shame you when they are just not supportive; it’s not nice. And the only thing for you to do at that point is to walk away.”

One user said it was Shahid Kapoor because he controlled Kareena as well as per his comments. In fact, many people have been speculating it was the Kaminey star.

Also, in 2007, it became less and less about her film choices and more about her fashion choices, on screen and off it. Back in 2008, 
Shah Rukh Khan and Saif Ali Khan even gave her a Naariyal award for the clothes she wore in Heyy Babyy (2007).

On the podcast Unfiltered with Samdish, the actress said, “When they told me they’re going to give me the Na-Real award, I said, ‘Why me? My clothes are not just my choice, right?’”
