New Delhi:
Actress Vidya Balan, who is playing the role of a brothel madam in her upcoming movie Begum Jaan, has revealed that her producer husband Siddharth Roy Kapur believes that she has a "violent streak" in her. The Kahaani actress opened up in a TV chat show about how she was offered the role in Begum Jaan and was quoted by IANS as saying: "I wanted to unleash the fierce part of me and all it took was a conversation with Mahesh Bhatt saab on a flight during the promotions of Hamari Adhuri Kahani. I told him that I wanted to give an expression to my anger, I have a lot of anger. But to actually give vent to that kind of anger, aggression, wasn't easy. But it was fun, once you break the limits. It's so freeing. Siddharth believes that I do have a violent streak."
Siddharth and Vidya got married in 2012. Siddharth has produced movies like Dangal, Fitoor, Haider, Kai Po Che!, Chennai Express, Shahid and Barfi as part of Disney India. Siddharth's next produced list of movies includes Jagga Jasoos while Vidya will also soon start shooting for Tuymhari Sulu.
