After a phenomenal performance in Hindi Medium with the late Irrfan Khan in 2017, Saba Qamar won million hearts. At the time, Bollywood superstar Vidya Balan also messaged Qamar after seeing her performance.
Balan took out sometime to catch the film. And after watching it, she sent a long text to Saba.
In her message, Vidya wrote: “Hi Saba… This is Vidya Balan. Watched Hindi Medium today and took your number from Zeenat… Just wanted to tell you that you were amazing in the film. It’s a character that one could dislike easily for being so pushy but you humanized her and made her believable and likable… Really wow!! Congrats on your performance and on huge success of the film. All the best VB.”
Of course, Saba was touched by Vidya’s gesture. She instantly took to Twitter to post a sweet message. Saba tweeted: “Being praised by one of the best actresses of bollywood is a huge deal. I’m overwhelmed!”
Saba also posted a picture of Vidya’s message with caption, “I still can’t believe that I spoke to THE Vidya Balan. Being praised by one of the best actresses of Bollywood is a huge deal for me. I’m truly touched and honoured.”
She went on to say, “Such a sweet gesture by her to take out the time to appreciate my work. It’s the best feeling ever when someone you admire so much, praises and appreciates your work. You’re beautiful inside out. Thank you! Loads of love!”
Saba’s launch film in Bollywood, Hindi Medium is a lighthearted romantic film about a young couple in Chandni Chowk, who want their daughter to get the best possible education.
