Sari comment irks Vidya

There’ve been jokes galore about Vidya Balan’s sense of style (this was before she embraced designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee’s nine yard wonders in earnest) and her expanding waistline, but The Dirty Picture actress has always taken those comments in her stride. In fact, at an award ceremony when Shah Rukh Khan had presented her with an “award” for being the worst dressed actress, she’d given SRK a taste of his own medicine by referring to his tuxedo as a waiter’s costume.

But it seems even the good humoured Vidya has her limits. And this was discovered by her former beau Shahid Kapur at the recently concluded Iifa awards in Singapore.
Apparently, when Vidya, wrapped in a Masaba Gupta sari, went up on stage to collect her best actress award, Shahid jibed, “Do you buy all your saris at a discounted rate?” Vidya was visibly offended, but chose not to reply.
“Vidya wears saris because that’s her style statement,” said a friend of the actress. What seemed to have really hurt Vidya was not the comment itself, but the fact that it came from someone she was extremely close to at one point of time, our source adds.
So will Vidya forgive Shahid for his cheeky comment? And more importantly, will her designers? Either way, we think Sasha should do whatever he can to placate B’wood’s only female “hero”.
