I was an ugly duckling: Vidya

Once upon a time our so elegantly beautiful Vidya Balan used to think that she is an ugly duckling. Quite a revelation considering her pristine looks.

Vidya, then, was not sure whether she would be able to enter the film industry. At one point of time she actually thought she was ugly and jinxed especially after she was dropped from her first two South Indian films for undisclosed reasons and on the grounds of non-performance from the third.

She had stopped looking in the mirror was very low on self-confidence. The jinx was finally broken with Euphoria's Kabhi aana tu meri gali and since then the life has come a full circle for Vidya.

You may also wonder when you listen to her caller tune — Gum hai kisi ke pyaar mein- whether she is in love?

Clearing all doubts she says she has this song as her caller tune because she loves the song and not because she is in love with somebody.

Adds Vidya, "I've also told all my male colleagues — Akshay Kumar, Fardeen Khan, Ritiesh Deshmukh, Boman Irani and Sajid Khan — that they should be ready, for people will soon link me up with all of them. And if I would be linked with just one of them, it would be interesting to see which one."
