‘I need a break’

“I am close to saying yes to a film which will not start for another three months. So I really think I need that break because for the past two-and-a-half-years I have been busy with my films. So now I do need that time off to soak everything in. Then I will probably do some dirty dancing,” the 33-year-old actor said.

Unwilling to get typecast, Vidya will soon be seen stepping out of her comfort zone yet again to play a pregnant woman in Sujoy Ghosh’s Kahaani, a thriller that will show what her character goes through when she flies down to Kolkata to find her missing husband.

“I can’t do the same thing again and again. When I am getting variety, then why will I not take advantage of that? This woman (in Kahaani) is a vulnerable woman who is searching for her husband, but she has not lost her sense of humour. She is a woman of today.”

Vidya has been extremely choosy with scripts, but clarifies that it doesn’t mean she is narrowing down her options.

“Even after Paa, Ishqiya and No One Killed Jessica, people said what next? Are your options narrowing down? I don’t think about these things. If god has brought me so far, he will take me further.

“I am here to act. I am not saying I will do only solo heroine projects. I want to do different genres of films,” she said.

“When Balki came to me with Paa, I had Kismat Konnection and Heyy Babyy behind me. And when Sujoy came to me, my films were doing well. But he is an intelligent man - he is one of the most intelligent men I have met. Two of his films didn’t work, but he has put things together this time around. I am hoping it will work out. But I think the intention is right,” she said.
