I would prefer a son like Abhishek: Vidya

Comments [ 16 ] By India-Forums.com Staff | 16 November 2009 | 11:53pm

Vidya Balan, who plays Amitabh Bachchan's mother in 'Paa', was so impressed by Abhishek's caring behaviour towards his father during the shooting that she confesses she would like to have a son like Abhishek in real life.

'I would prefer a son like Abhishek. I have seen him with his father on the sets... he was so nice to his father that I was touched,' Vidya told reporters here Saturday.

Director R. Balakrishnan's 'Paa' is an emotional story of a father-son relationship and Amitabh will be seen as Abhishek's 13-year-old son Auro who is suffering from a rare disease progeria, that accelerates ageing. The film releases Dec 4.

'The film is all about Auro and all through the film there is a certain sensibility about Auro, but no sympathy is shown towards the 13-year-old progeric child in the film,' said Vidya.

When the director approached her for the role, she wasn't sure about playing the mother of a progeric child. 'Initially, I wondered how to do the role as I didn't have that motherly instinct. But while working on the film I realised what motherhood is,' said Vidya.

She says playing Amitabh's mother wasn't difficult at all. 'I was a bit concerned initially but it was smooth sail once we started working together.'

Asked if it wasn't a risk to play a mother so early in her career, she said: 'I didn't see any risk, rather it was a lifetime opportunity to get to work in such a wonderful film.'

you should not say like that ok.. Aishwariya is more famous then amitabh and his family. She also worked in hollywood movies. she wont do marriage for money because she can earn more money then any other actor in the world. Even iam in hong kong still i can see a lots of her pictures around introducing products but i did not see any picture of amitabh or abhishek till now although they are very famous in india.

Abhishek is no doubt a wonderful son. He is so caring and sanskari son. Ash is very lucky to have him as her hubby.
