Actress Vidya Balan has opened up about how she manifested the opportunity to work with Parineeta director Pradeep Sarkar. Sharing a video of herself singing the song “Seekho Na Naino Ki Bhasha Piya” on Instagram, she revealed that the track, its lyrics by Prasoon Joshi, and the picturisation inspired her to secretly hope for a collaboration with Sarkar.

"I love lip syncing to songs, and this song I love, which is a good reason to do it on a Monday morning. When I watched it for the first time, I was struck as much by the lyrics by @prasoonjoshilive and the song itself as I was by the picturisation... And while I began to secretly harbour a desire to work with the master storyteller #pradeepsarkar."

"Unbeknownst to me, the universe began to work its magic. A few years later, I got an ad film with Dada and then, as luck would have it, I got to be in 3 of his music videos too... The highlight was, of course, that I got to work with the same team of @smudgal, @moitrashantanu & #Dada on another album called #Kisson ki chaadar written by @niveditajoshi4. Not just that this eventually led to me getting launched by Dada in Parineeta," the 'Ishqiya' actress went on to share.

Fortune favoured her when she made her debut in Parineeta and later worked on other projects with the same team, including music videos and the album Kisson Ki Chaadar. “I don’t know if this qualifies as the ‘Law of Attraction,’ but I’m ever so grateful for this, just as I am for so much else in life,” Vidya wrote, wishing her fans a wonderful Monday and week ahead.
