Vidya Balan likes to play a real life character on screen

What do you do when you play a real life character onscreen? First thing you do is to meet that person to study the character more closely. But Vidya Balan doesn’t agree with this concept.

The actress who played Sabrina Lall in Raj Kumar Gupta’s most awaited film ’No One Killed Jessica’ decided not to meet Sabrina while doing this film.

"I didn’t meet her before the film," said the actress. According to Vidya, it was a mutual decision taken by her and her director Raj Kumar Gupta who wanted the focus to be on their interpretation of Sabrina.

"What we have borrowed from the real life case is the legal journey. But the emotional journey is something that is a work of Raj and mine. We worked on the character on our own. It’s Raj’s interpretation that I fell back on so I didn’t have to meet Sabrina," said Vidya, who is busy promoting NOKJ.

Vidya reveals that she met Sabrina recently after completing NOKJ. The actress informs that she got to know Sabrina more after meeting her. "I did get a chance to meet her recently and I was quite overwhelmed at that point," she concluded.
