Her dream came true way to her endorsement handle a brand new range of snacks brand Aliva.
“This snack is an ideal marriage between healthy and tasty, after which (on this ad) I USED TO BE attending to play a double role. Only Sridevi and Hemaji (Hema Malini) have done it up to now. I'VE always desired to do a double role,” Vidya told reporters here.
“We don’t have double roles for some reason in films anymore… so this (offer) was too good to be true. Too many stuff fitted my bill,” she added.
The 30-second campaign for Aliva’s multi-grain waves will go on air early June.
In the tv commercial, Vidya can be seen in two avatars — her traditional “Parineeta” look and her sexy siren look from “The Dirty Picture”.
Vidya, who won a countrywide Award for “The Dirty Picture”, says the ad reflects her range of acting, and proves all those, who tried to typecast her, wrong.
“The ad took me back to ‘Parineeta’. For the longest time after ‘Parineeta’, people just desired to see me as (within the look of) Parineeta. And so they didn’t think I USED TO BE in a position to much else. They desired to pigeonhole me right into a stereotype of sorts.”
“But then slowly, one started to push the envelope and thankfully the audience has accepted me with open arms. I USED TO BE attending to do these types of things – Parineeta and Silk as diametrically different as possible within the ad film — and make a point, for the ad, and for myself,” said the 33-year-old. – IANS
