Known for having made the sari fashionable once more, Vidya Balan is now expanding her style skills. We’ve been told that the actor took it upon herself to devise the perfect look for her on-screen avatar in her ucoming film, Shaadi Ke Side Effects, which also stars Farhan Akhtar.

A source close to the film unit says, “Vidya plays a modern housewife in the film, and was required to sport cool, casual attire. Vidya sat with the costume designers and gave them her inputs. She worked towards finding the perfect balance between modern and conventional styles.”

The insider adds,  “Many of her suggestions were incorporated in the film.”

Ask director Saket Chaudhary about this, and he says, “Styling Vidya in the film was relatively easy since she knew her character inside out and knew exactly the kind of clothes to wear in every situation in the film. Her inputs took the character to an all new level.”
