‘Housewives aren’t boring’

Actress Vidya Balan, who plays a homemaker in Ghanchakkar, says her character will dispel the notion that housewives are boring.

‘I play a Punjabi housewife in Ghanchakkar and hopefully, I, with this one, will put to rest the notion that housewives are boring. That’s a very huge misconception and I hope people realise that after Ghanchakkar,’ the 33-year-old said.

Vidya has teamed up with her The Dirty Picture co-star Emraan Hashmi in the film. About her chemistry with Emraan, she said: ‘I think Raaz 3 (secret) of our chemistry is that we may have said three words to each other in The Dirty Picture, but in this one we have said six words. So, it should probably double the chemistry between us.’

Directed by Rajkumar Gupta, Ghanchakkar is said to be a sequel to the 2006-hit Pyaar Ke Side Effects, which starred Rahul Bose and Mallika Sherawat.
