After her winning stint with an outdoor sport: hockey and her subsequent success with 'Chak De', Vidya Malvade is looking inwards. Er, rather, she's sashayed her way into an indoor sport flick: 'Striker,' a carrom centric opus which spotlights her in a pivotal role.
"My character is called Devi," states Vidya. "She's a girl who comes from a lower middle class Maharashtrian background and she's also very grounded herself. She's focussed, good at academics and keeps pulling up Surya, the character played by Siddharth."
Elaborating on the 'Striker' experience, she says, "It was great working with Siddharth because he is such an unselfish actor. He's not the type who's only worried about how he looks on screen. He makes you comfortable as a co star and wants you to give off your best too. I've liked the two films that Chandan directed and I'd say that he's made a brilliant film."

Kareena Kapoor earns reams of newsprint for her size zero frame and fashion aesthetics (sorry Chopra, just a phrase!). But there's a warm, generous side to her too, which few pals will vouch for.
Case in point Lovely Singh, the debutant director of 'Kya Love Story Hai'. Knowing his special love for watches, Bebo babe hunted high and low for a designer edition and … gifted him one which cost a cool seven lakhs!
Earlier on, she'd agreed to groove gratis to the 'It's rocking.. 'number for his flick. And true to her promise, KK didn't charge him a single penny for her jiggie wiggie. Lucky, Lovely Singh.
