Vidya Balan Can Look Sexy Too, Insists The Designer She Fired [Bollywood Scruffbag]

'Anyone can be made to look sexy!', says fashion designer Aki Narula.

"It's all about the attitude and the way you carry yourself! So, yes, Vidya Balan can look sexy, too!" Sounds to us like he's desperately trying to disprove the old adage 'you can't make a silk pure out of a sow's ear'. Or, more pertinently, you can't make a super sexy babe out of an old frump.

Narula was fired by Vidya Balan while working on her film Kismet Konnection. Balan didn't think he was doing a good job of her clothes, and fashion designer Shabina Khan replaced him.

Narula went on to work on clothes for the cast of Bachna Ae HaseenoBipasha Basu, Minnisha Lamba and Ranbir Kapoor - and he has also dressed Priyanka Chopra in Don, and was the inspiration behind the Bunty Aur Babli kurtis that became a fashion rage. All of these people looked very, very good in their respective films.

Asked if he would ever work with Balan again Narula said, "Why not? If the script is great and characters interesting, I'd do it! Sometimes it clicks, sometimes it doesn't. We're mature individuals. I'll be where there's good work!"

Sounds like he's up for a challenge!
