He is great with relationship stories," Vidya concluded. I wanted to work with him but he has stopped directing when I joined films so I am thrilled that he has written the story. Arth had the strongest influence on me as an actor.

The actress says she is looking forward to begin shooting for the movie in September this year as it is her first love story after her 2005 debut Parineeta.
She is a novice so there had to be a certain innocence while portraying her," she added. He kept telling me that she is not your know-it-all detective. I had to strike a fine balance in playing Bobby and all the credit goes to Samar. "What appealed to me was the human story because I am not a detective story fan.The actress, 36, says she was drawn to the movie, helmed by debutant Samar Shaikh, for its human story.The response has been very encouraging so far," Vidya said. We knew that it would gain audience through word-of-mouth publicity because it is not an appointment film. “The film has done better than what we expected.Happy with the initial response to the film, which has been produced by her Parineeta co-star Dia Mirza and Sahil Sanga, she is hoping the film does better through word-of-mouth publicity.In her latest release Bobby Jasoos, Vidya plays an earnest 30-something aspiring detective in Hyderabad. I started living according to what made me happy and it has changed my life," says the actress. "I also realised that there is one person whose happiness is in my control and that is me.I realised that if I was going to let my happiness depend on other people's approval then I would keep trying for the rest of my life.”
Whatever I did, someone or the other had something to say. "It was in 2007 when I was being badgered for everything.It is an hard-earned wisdom for Vidya, who was once at the receiving end of critics be it her films, her life or the sartorial choices.I can't play central protagonist in all my films." It is flattering but I can't restrict myself to a type. The film did not work so they are saying probably it was not different. If the film had worked people would not have minded. Shaadi Ke Side Effects was a very regular role. "It is sad that two of my films did not work. Vidya, however, says she was too close to these two projects to know exactly what went wrong.
Her last two films Ghanchakkar, a comedy, and Shaadi Ke Side Effects, a romantic comedy, did not work well at the box office and interestingly she was not the central protagonist.I am very selfish, I don't think of anything but what I want to do," Vidya told PTI in an interview. If I like something, I don't think about what people are going to say or whether the story is 'different' enough. The actress has charted herself a different trajectory with her film choices be it Paa, Ishqiya, No One Killed Jessica, The Dirty Picture or Kahaani.Though she is part of an industry which stereotypes actors easily, Vidya Balan says she is very selfish as an actor and she only works for herself.
