Vidya Balan and Priyanka Chopra both the actress were nominated in the Best actress category at the 57th Idea Filmfare awards for their films ‘The Dirty Picture’ and ‘7 Khoon Maaf’. At the end Vidya won the award in the popular category and Priyanka received award as Critics choice. Though they were competitor but Priyanka praises for Vidya Balan.
Priyanka said, “Vidya was great in ‘The Dirty Picture’. Very few actresses have the courage to gain about 15 kgs for a role! You know how the industry works. Actresses are extremely conscious about their weight. I could manage only 3-4kgs for 7 khoon maaf. My problem is I cannot gain weight. I have a high metabolism rate. No matter how much I eat, I don’t gain weight. I was offered a film where I was supposed to gain weight but I couldn’t do it owing to this problem. Vidya on the contrary has done it.”
Priyanka had spoof on Vidya during Zee Cine Awards show but she says Vidya is not offended with her act. Priyanka explained, “Vidya takes it in a good spirit. I wore a fat suit to imitate her. After the act she herself told me how funny it looked. She wasn’t offended at all. She is extremely sporting.”
