Vidya Balan has not agreed to expose for acclaimed artist M.F. Hussain's painting, said a close friend of the actress. The friend has said the story has been "fabricated to damage her reputation" as she is an "actress who has always maintained a dignified stance".
A newspaper reported Balan, who will feature in Ekta Kapoor's Dirty Pictures, will bare all as Hussain finds her persona, especially her face, very sensual and cultured. But she has always maintained she would take up projects only with an aesthetic sense.
"The news is absolutely hysterical. We are in the month of February and not April. Vidya has always maintained a dignified image and is one of the most respected stars in the industry. The reports are fabricated by parties with vested interests and if ever Vidya does decide to get a painting done, it will strictly be her face. Hope this puts an end to the speculation," said the friend.
