Qualities you look for in your man?Honesty, good natured, helpfulness and a nice sense of humour are the ‘must haves’.Do ‘good looks’ also find place in your list? And how high in the order?‘Good looks’ is obviously there in my list, but it does not figure that high in the pecking order.If you like a guy, would you make the first move?No, I am too traditional in that the sense. If he likes me, he will have to make the first move.Would you ‘dress to kill’ on the first date?No, I would wear something I would be comfortable in rather than something which might attract him, but make me look like a complete fool.Would you offer to foot half the bill on your first date?Yes, I would definitely, but it would be up to him to accept.What would be your reaction if girls made a pass at your guy?I would not lose my cool for sure because if we are together, then the trust factor has to be there.Would you like him dictating what you should wear and what not?If he likes me, he will have to accept me a

For her role in Vishal Bharadwaj's Ishqiya, Vidya Balan is leaving no stone unturned. She is getting into the skin of her character by learning a special language and dialect for the film. And now here comes the clincher.A source on the sets reveals that Vidya's been on cloud nine recently thanks to Ishiya again. Reason?The actress just finished a ten day work shop with her idol Naseeruddin Shah who also stars in the film along with Arshad Warsi.A source close to the actress revealed, "The character that Vidya is playing in Ishqiya is a very complex character which is very difficult to enact.Vidya thought that the way to emote the character on screen was best learnt from Naseeruddin Shah because the veteran actor was a master at it. She was ecstatic to be discussing cinema with the master himself. Even though one hears they ended up discussing the film and cinema at length instead of doing a serious workshop, vidya still treasures the experience and is looking forward to w

A report in the papers on Monday claiming Saif to be guilty of assault, intimidation and inciting violence against a Hindi photojournalist in Patiala, has the star not quite angry or anxious but definitely a little exasperated.Speaking to me on Monday afternoon Saif protests, "First of all the news report has got the name of the film wrong. We weren't shooting for 3 Idiots. I am not a part of that film, Kareena is.I was shooting for Imtiaz Ali's film which I am producing. I wasn't even there when this incident happened.We've been shooting in the nights on the railway station in Patiala for the last three days. This incident supposedly happened in the evening before shooting started..Apparently there was some kind of an argument with a photojournalist, whose name I don't even know. All my unit members including my producer partner Dinesh Vijeyan apologized to all concerned. And I thought the matter ended there."The next thing Saif knew the journalist had re
