Vidya Balan and Milan Luthria may not be working together after The Dirty Picture, but the actress and director are in touch. Recently, Vidya gifted one of her paintings (by artist Vivek Sharma) to Milan. She tells us, “Vivek had given me two tables painted with my look from The Dirty Picture. While I kept one in my office, I couldn’t keep the other because of lack of space. So I just asked my staff to get a tempo, drove to Milan’s Bandra office and gave him the picture.” Milan adds, “Yes, she dropped into my office last week followed by a huge centre table which her staff was carrying! It has a stunning artiste’s rendition of her in the famous red saree in The Dirty Picture. Vidya has a replica with her. Everyone at office was quite thrilled. My entire team is still the same and know her well so it was a welcome break for them from the prep work that’s going on for Badshaaho. It was good to catch up with her as always.”
