Vidya Balan is no goody two shoes

Now the classically beautiful Vidya Balan likes to portray herself as the modern day avatar of the sati savitri, mellow enough to be the propah Bhartiya nari, but avante garde to take on mainstream Bollywood as well. There's hardly anyone who hasn't liked her after Parineeta. Doesn't mean aunty's (supposed to be born in 1982 - my left foot - my mother-in-law looks younger than that) free of all the foibles of our over-sexed stars.

Apparently VB and hunky John Abraham got cosier than they were required for their roles on the sets of Salaam-E-Ishq. After her mentor Pradeep Sarkar and Sanjay Dutt, her co-star in two films, John's the third person Vidya's been linked to. Here's what's been reported - "Perhaps the recent rumour linking John and Mallika Sherawat during their worldwide tour has left the sultry Bipasha feeling insecure... Bipasha constantly kept calling John, while he and Vidya were shooting together for their upcoming film."

Poor Bips, with all these rumours of John the Lech flying around, it's no wonder they almost called it off. And did you hear about the one that says John and Bips are only staying together to keep their ad endorsements, which obviously pays them fat sums? A little birdie informed that John was also gaga about this lovely singer lass he met at a concert in Sri Lanka last year or so. At the event, he grabbed her onto the stage from among the audience, did a little gig with her, and has been in touch with the lady on email since then. Some casanova, heh? As for Vidya, she's turned out quite a Lolita.
