It is a rare scene in Bollywood when one actress goes out of her way to admire another. Recently, Vidya Balan did it after watching Hindi Medium. The actress is currently shooting for her film Tumhari Sulu in Mumbai where she plays a radio jockey. The film’s co-producer Tanuj Garg, posted a message and screen grabs of Vidya’s message to Saba, “The gracious @vidya_balan congratulated @S_qamarzaman for her stellar performance in #hindimedium .Saba was overjoyed&thanked her profusely.”(Sic)
The message reads, “Watched Hindi Medium today and took your number from Zeenat.. Just wanted to tell you that you were amazing in the film. Its a character one could be disliked easily for being so pushy but you humanised her and made her believable and likeable.. Really wow. Congrats on your performance and on the huge success of the film. All the best VB.”
Pakistani actress Saba made her debut in Bollywood in Hindi Medium opposite Irrfan Khan. The film has been doing well at the box office and collected 46.09 crore so far
