Vidya Balan: It has to be something like Ijaazat with Shah Rukh Khan

In her 12-year-old career, Vidya Balan has never played romantic interest to any of the Khans — Salman, Shah Rukh or Aamir. She has done Salaam-e-Ishq, which also starred Salman but they weren’t paired opposite each other. And she has admittedly been a Shah Rukh Khan fan for years.

While the film buffs want to see SRK and Vidya romance each other on screen, she reveals that they haven’t been offered a film together. “I have never been approached for any Shah Rukh film.” Many feel that it’s her decision to not play small roles that has cost her the chance to romance the Khans. But she is quick to explain, “It’s not like I’m averse to doing a film with the Khans. I will happily do a film with any of them. But my role also needs to be proper because I’m extremely particular about that.”

Ask her what can get her to work with her favourite Khan and she smiles, “For us to come together, the characters need to suit us, too. It has to be something like an Ijaazat with Shah Rukh. I would love to do a relationship film with him, which is that sort of a mature love story. I think Ijaazat will be a fantastic film, if made in today’s times as well.”
