Vidya on Good House Keeping: (Un)Covered
Wearing a purple sari by Gaurav Gupta, Vidya Balan graces the cover of the Nov 2009 edition of Good Housekeeping. We thought she looked quite nice on it. You?

there’s something wrong with the smile…. forced… may be… not her natural smile.
No, she’s trying to smile with arched-eyebrows, by lifting one and letting the other remain grounded!!
Aishwarya Rai too smiles with arched eyebrows. But her eyebrows are naturally shaped like that, whereas Vidya has symmetrical eyebrows, hence the weird smile effect, which is looking pompous and annoying on her!
no
Hahaha…I love your response…one doesn’t need to say anything more for this look 🙂
She looks nice, and it’s a lovely color. But something is a bit off, her posture perhaps. I’m not liking the hair much either.
Love the colour… but the hair somehow reminds me of a poodle :S
Ooh, Vidya looks gorgeous! Fabulous sari, and smile!
REALLY? That hair is a disgusting mess. Is that even real hair,looks like a toupe. Save the color i hate the design and hate it even more on VB.
..and oh, she looks way tooooo healthy (since F word is censored on this blog;)!
Agree.
i take the word healthy in a very posiive sense…wat do ya wanna say here…?
anyways bad pose n fake smile…oderwise i kinda like her esp her voice…
love it – not VB but the use of ” Healthy” instead of the Big F word.
Actually, I agree with you . .. the hair just don’t look real …
Somethin’s off!!
And look at her right hand!! It’s wierd!
did not like, hair open with the neck so high etc. is too much happening. love the look on the model with the shade of red saree.
Nope, don’t like her hair & makeup
there is something terribly wrong with her hair!! it looks rather odd… i cant look beyond it :O
Her face’s been so tampered with..it looks strange. One thing she’s got is a pretty face and it doesn’t really come through here. And the hair’s not great either. But whatever, looks decent enough.
Something’s wrong with the hair… and looks almost uncomfortable!
I meant – she looks uncomfy…
Huh, nice? It doesn’t even look like her. Seems like they aged her 20 years to match the title (as if younger women can’t represent good housekeeping well????). Nice colour, but thats it.
She doesnot look all that good. Could be her pose and her hair
OMG!!!! vidya looks mentally retarded!!!!
and helooooooooooooo wats up with the eyebrow…????
good housekeeping???? more like good diaster photoshoot!
saree reminds me of genelia who sported one in red.
she looks fresh and beautiful! but theres too much text on the cover…..they should make the covers less wordy. other than that….i’m loving the purple!
The pose looked awkward,as if she is sitting uncomfortably on a bar stool.Would have loved to see her stand or atleast sit on a sofa.
Love her face though.
hair is too dark and saree is too dark – and not enough accessories to make the whole look youthful- i actually do not like this cover.
SOmething’s off abt her face. Looks almost masculine. Or is it the pose?
OMG – easy on the comments please.
The color is the only thing working here. Agree with the others on the hair. Methinks Shilpa Shetty would have beautifully pulled this off.
Something wrong with her face..maybe the eyebrows? I love her smile though…but eyes upward..something wrong….
ugly sarees.. ugly cover
I agree there’s something odd about this picture. She looks unnatural and awkward and almost un Earth like. The colour looks great on her but I’m not liking this at all.. she’s MUCH prettier than this cover lets on… her hair definitely doesn’t look real, they must have retouched it and made it toooo shiny.
color’s real pretty. that’s the only nice thing about the picture. hair needs to be worked on … it does NOT go with the high-neck blouse. either that or she should’ve worn the same blouse as the model in red sari. also, vidya looks miserably uncomfortable. pity that she’s such a pretty girl but it rarely comes across in photo shoots.
CONSTIPATED LOOK and POSE.. LOL
Hair and makeup are terrible, pose and angle of shot very unflattering, sari is nothing special (though the color is nice). She looks really bad…and she’s really not bad-looking. 🙁
The colour is lovely but the hair makes her look a bit mumsy…
like the sari on the model butnot on vidya…its just don’t look right..mayb it hair but i hate her eyebrow…looks really bad and i hate purple sari and this just proves why
i love the blouse.. looked better in sheer natural color though .. even the pleating on the red saaree is beautiful,, gaurav gupta makes beautiful saarees ,, although vidya looks nice but i think a better pose would have helped..
nice
