Vidya Balan

Vidya Balan is the brand ambassador of NGO Nanhi Kali, which propagates education for the girl child. She will soon be funding the education of some children from the NGO. Says a source close to Vidya, “Vidya had been associated with an NGO ever since she started working but a few months ago she decided to withdraw her support against that and join Nanhi Kali. She had sponsored a girl child from the earlier NGO.

Starlet Vidya Balan has rubbished rumours on her supposed romance with actor Vivek Oberoi. The actress seems to be in no mood for fun and has come down heavily on assumptions regarding her personal life.

Vidya, who’s been linked to almost every actor that she has worked in the past, is surprised by the link-up, as she is not even working with Vivek at present. In a clarification to the media, the actress exclaimed “I have met Vivek some one-and-a-half times only.”

She may not be one of the most powerful actresses in Bollywood, but Vidya Balan is powerful enough to launch two new stars. The actress showed up at an event in Mumbai to launch two new global toon characters… and it’s all for a good cause.

Meet Fafa and Juno - two new characters on the toon block who promise to share their warm and compassionate world with the kids around them. Touted to be India’s first animated intellectual property - Fafa and Juno - got Vidya Balan cheering for them. The actress supports Nanhi Kali, an NGO working for underprivileged girls - which will receive a part of the sales proceeds from the Fafa and Juno merchandise.
