Put on the war paint, add those finishing touches and Vidya Balan is ready to strike a pose. After receiving flak for her choice of wardrobe, the actress decided to dress down for a cover photo-shoot for the international men's magazine FHM.
The shoot covered a versatile Vidya attempting to look sensuous, coy and sportily sexy!
"I think what we shot for the cover was really very interesting especially where we used sheets and all and it's just that there is a great sensuality to it. I always think that minimal make-up and no fuss hair takes away from everything and it's all about the eyes," she said.
So will Vidya's bold bedsheet shoot help take off some of the bad press she has got for her dressing sense?
Photographer Joy Datta says, "She has been in the industry for a while now. She is very confident about her own self. Lot has been said about her dressing and all that but she is very aware about herself now and it's a new Vidya. And it's great to be a part of that new state she is in."
Well you can figure out that one yourself after taking a look at this month's issue of FHM.
