Vidya Balan in MMS row

After the smashing success of Lage Raho Munnabhai, Vidya Balan has been caught in an ugly row.

According to the recent buzz, a one-minute hot video clip of a woman, bearing close resemblance to Vidya, is doing the rounds on the Internet and on MMS-enabled mobile phones in Chennai.

However, sources close to the heroine of Parineeta fame have been quick to debunk the video as morphed or fake. Whether morphed or look alike, the MMS clip is doing rounds among the youngsters in Chennai. According to youngsters who regularly received such clips, they prefer MMS clips of actors and famous models.

In the past, Mallika Sherawat and Priety Zinta too had MMSs of their look-alikes doing the rounds and a MMS had also come to the fore which allegedly showed Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor smooching.

When contacted, Sanjay, secretary to Vidya, said, ‘‘She (Vidya) is busy shooting here (in Mumbai) and does not want to react to this. The issue is totally irrelevant to her and we do not want to encourage any discussion on the topic.’’
