Vidya Balan has completely dismissed rumours of a rift with the gorgeous Aishwarya Rai during the making of Mani Ratnam 's Guru . ?By now I'm used to all kinds of rumours. But this one truly takes the cake. I can't say we got along like a house on fire simply because we didn't have many scenes together. But whenever we worked together, Aishwarya was a dream co-star. She is an absolute delight to work with and is someone I look up to,? a report quotes Vidya as saying.
Vidya was quick to laugh off reports that Ash was responsible for her rather short role in the film. ?To even suggest that she had my role cut is so ridiculous. I was aware of the extent of my role from the start. I did ?Guru? for the pleasure of working with Mani. There are moments in the film where Aishwarya needed to reach out to me emotionally. She did it so naturally and spontaneously that she won me over.? When asked about stories that Vidya didn't attend the premiere of ?Guru? in Canada because of Ash? ?This is too much,? giggled Vidya. ?I wonder who's spreading such nonsense and for what purpose! I was in Australia shooting for Sajid Khan's ?Hey Baby? on January 10. The premiere of ?Guru? in Canada was on January 12. There was no way I could reach there and get back to my shooting without disrupting Sajid's schedule. I wouldn't do this to anyone, least of all to Sajid Khan who's a first-time director and a dear friend.? Vidya added: ?I hope this puts to rest all these silly speculations about Aishwarya's role in my life. She's way above all this petty politics. Her dignity in the face of adversity is exemplary. If I can possess even a fraction of her poise I'd consider myself lucky.?Vidya added that she has enjoyed playing a journalist and a radio disc jockey in recent films. ?The journey has been exciting. The character is so much more than the job it performs,? Vidya said. ?They've given me tremendous job satisfaction at the end of the day,? Vidya said of the roles. Vidya portrayed a journalist in Salaam-e-Ishq opposite John Abraham . Vidya went to a few radio stations to get the feel of what it was like to be a radio jockey before she began shooting for the superhit Lage Raho Munnabhai opposite Sanjay Dutt
