'Mujhe bacha lo': Vidya Balan went to John Abraham to save herself from THIS actor, she 'offended' him by rejecting his film, his name is...

Like any other actor, Vidya Balan once rejected a film because she couldn't relate to the story and character. However, she didn't know that the leading actor of that film would confront her, leaving her in distress and panic. 

At the Bollywood Hungama Style Icons Summit, Vidya revealed that she was offered a film opposite Akshaye, but she rejected. "Mujhe Akshaye Khanna ke opposite ek film offer hui thi, lekin kisi wajah se main uss script se judh nahi paayi. Lekin maine khud phone uthaakar unhe yeh baat nahi batayi. Maine apne manager se kaha ki woh director ko yeh baat bata de." 

Vidya further shared that she met Akshaye on a movie set, and she was taken by surprise, as the Border actor 'fired' her. "Phir main Akshaye Khanna se Salaam-E-Ishq ke set par mili aur woh mujh par bhadak gaye. Unhone kaha ki ‘aapne mujhe kyun nahi bataya ki aap yeh film nahi karna chahti ho?'" 

After hearing it from Akshaye, Vidya went to John and asked him if he could save him, "Main John (Abraham) ke paas gayi aur kaha, ‘Mujhe bacha lo please?’ Kyunki main uss time bilkul nayi thi. Main kisi bhi tarah ka takraav nahi chahti thi. Main kisi ko hurt nahi karna chahti thi ya yeh mehsoos nahi karana chahti thi ki main unke saath film nahi karna chahti hoon." Then Vidya said that Akshaye was pulling her leg, and it was all a joke. 

On the work front, Vidya was last seen in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. The movie marked her return to the franchise after Bhool Bhulaiyaa (2007). BB3 went on to become a blockbuster, learning Rs 387 crores worldwide.
