For this episode, I flew down to Mumbai only to be left starstruck by the incredible Vidya Balan.
From her latest release Do Aur Do Pyaar to her surprise box-office hit Kahaani, from Gobi Manchurian to gutkha, from international cinema to Baba Ram Rahim, we hardly left any topic undiscussed, *cough cough* well, apart from politics! I also got to know about her journey with her healer, her relationship with religion and Siddharth Roy Kapur’s many many irritating habits!
Presenting to you Unfiltered by Samdish ft.
Vidya Balan.
