Vidya Balan likes to be a linguist someday


Vidya Balan is suddenly obsessed with the idea of learning Indian and foreign languages, and has decided that she’d like to be a linguist someday.

For starters, the learning begins at home (read: Maharashtra’s state language, Marathi). Vidya is currently trying to learn how to speak fluent Marathi; so she’s begun conversing with her staff in the language. But it doesn’t end there. She’s also tuning her tastebuds to Maharashtrian delicacies; so now her team brings her authentic jowar bhakri, jhunka bhakar, mirchi cha thecha, puran pori, et al.

Wow. That’s our true blue Mumbaikar Vidya, but dear girl, what’s the raaz here? Is there a Maharashtrian manoos on the scene that we should know about, huh Vids? Saang na, saang na Vidya!
