Vidya Balan carries a 45 kg boy on her shoulders

Who says acting is easy? Not when you have to carry a boy weighing 45 kgs on your shoulders. Just ask actress Vidya Balan, who had to go through the exercise for her film Paa – and ended up falling.”In a scene, Vidya had to shoot with a child who is playing the younger version of Amitabh Bachchan in Paa.

The scene required Vidya to carry him on her shoulders,” said a source.”Vidya weighs 45 kg and so did the boy. Vidya carried him on her shoulders nevertheless. Suddenly there was this loud thud and people saw that she had lost balance and fallen on the ground along with the boy. The actress still completed the shot,” added the source.

Paa, slated for a December 4 release, revolves around a father-son relationship. While Abhishek Bachchan plays the father, Amitabh Bachchan will be seen as his son who is suffering from a rare disorder called progeria.

Arshad scared of kissing Vidya!

We are talking about the steamy, sizzling lip-lock between Vidya Balan and Arshad Warsi.

Yes, Arshie took permission from wifey Maria before letting the heat on, but we get to hear, from Warsi himself, that Maria Goretti wasn’t too comfy with this ‘hot stuff’. Anyway, she, too, gave in to the demands of Vishal Bhardwaj’s script.

After Maria, it was his own emotions he had to fight. “I was extremely petrified... even Vidya knows it. I was dying from within. But then, a man’s got to do what a man’s got to do.”

So much for the love-byte. And the latest update on this ‘kiss-a’: Arshad has vowed, no more on-screen kisses! And Maria, we hear, is breathing easy!

After Ash, Vidya Balan giggles!

Well much has been said about Ash and her giggles. But these days, someone else’s are being talked about – Vidya Balan's

The actress while shooting for Vishal Bhardwaj’s Ishqiya, didn’t know that she was going to be bestowed by a new nick... Apparently, Vidya laughed so much on the sets that her co-star Arshad Warsi calls her ‘Giggles’.

“There’s a story behind this,” he told us, “Vidya laughs a lot and can’t control herself. She just goes on laughing like crazy. She doesn’t even need someone to crack a joke... she laughs JLT (just like that). Sometimes she used to crack up in the middle of a shot and then Naseerudin and I had to wait till she finished... Man, that’s some talent she has! So we call her Giggles.” Now, that’s pretty cute... right in the Piggy Chops nick category!
