Actor Vidya Balan is off her Ooh la la look and is currently seen showing off a baby bump for her upcoming film Kahaani in which she plays a pregnant woman. And to look as genuinely pregnant as possible, the actor apparently went through a lot of preparations.

A source close to the star says, “Vidya met doctors, people abroad and learnt about their typical lifestyle. She would make a list of dos and don’ts for a pregnant woman. Vidya was inspired by real life around her too since her sister too was pregnant around the same time.

She took tips from her as well. In fact, Sujoy and Vidya had even made a list of superstitions that pregnant women follow. She would eat a salad called the Grandmother’s salad.” It surely seems that Vidya doesn’t take a pregnant pause till she gets in the skin of the character.
