I'm entertainment, says Vidya Balan
"There was no other way to do that role because South Indian heroines, especially in the '80s, were just that way," she says. "Though they were heavy, they were perceived as the sexiest. Silk was big and yet she oozed sexuality. I had to be like her, physically. The line that separated me from the character started blurring. A famous actress called me after watching No One Killed Jessica and said - You have tasted blood now...hereon, you will seek the same high in every role. I love it when I don't know where I end and the character begins. It spurs you on to ensure that you feel like a totally new person in every film."

| Aus won by 15 runs. Man of the Match: David Warner - scorecard |
Their 4-0 Test humiliation included defeat by 122 runs in Melbourne, innings losses in Sydney and Perth and a 298-run thrashing in Adelaide.
M.S. Dhoni's men set out to prove their doubters wrong in the triangular one-day series against Australia and Sri Lanka. After all, they were the reigning World Cup champions.
Yet India again failed to measure up and despite an astonishing Hobart run-chase where they reeled in Sri Lanka's 320 with 80 balls to spare to give them late hope of squeezing into the finals, they ultimately missed out.
There have been calls back home for India's ageing stars -- Rahul Dravid, V.V.S. Laxman, even Tendulkar -- to move on and questions over the strategy and approach of skipper Dhoni and the batting lethargy of Virender Sehwag.
Former captain Sunil Gavaskar even questioned whether the Indian team was hurting enough from the crushing losses they endured.
