Bedazzling Spotlight for Vidya Balan in the year ahead, foretells Ganesha.

From a
bespectacled, slightly lost character in her first TV appearance, to a
sizzling, spectacular Bollywood actress today, Vidya Balan sure has
come a long way. This immensely talented actress showcased her
histrionics for the first time in Parineeta
in 2005, winning the Filmfare Best Debut award for her performance.
In the six years that followed, she has effortlessly churned out
performance after powerhouse performance, winning many hearts and
awards in the process.

Her first
commercial hit came with Lage
Raho Munnabhai. Vidya
also made an unforgettable appearance as the secretly
mentally-imbalanced heroine of Bhool
Bhulaiya, a movie that
earned her a Filmfare Best Actress nomination. Her character role in
Guru
made an impact on audiences and critics alike, despite the presence
of established stars including Aishwarya Rai, Abhishek Bachchan, R
Madhavan, and Mithun Chakraborty.

The last three
years have seen Vidya's acting skills reach a crescendo with some
path-breaking performances. In 2009, when she played the poignant
single mother of a child suffering from progeria, the audience felt
her pain and admired her grace. She won a Filmfare Best Actress award
for this role in Paa.
In 2010, she scorched the screen in Ishqiya,
which won her the Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actress.

Early 2011 saw
Vidya as a portrait of quiet dignity and anguish in No
One Killed Jessica. Her
latest film - The Dirty
Picture – released this week. It portrays her as the South Indian femme fatale, Silk Smitha.
How audiences will react to her brazen performance? And what lies
ahead for this versatile actress? Ganesha employs Vedic Astrology to
find out.

Astrological
Observations

• Vidya
  is born with Sun and Venus conjunction, which indicates her
  inclination towards arty pursuits.

• Retrograde
  Jupiter aspects Venus in her chart, which shows her comfort in
  taking on unconventional roles.

• Currently,
  Mars is transiting over retrograde Saturn in her Natal chart.

• At
  the beginning of December 2011, she has entered a new phase with
  Venus returning.

• Rahu
  is transiting over Natal Mercury.

• Retrograde
  Jupiter is transiting through the 5^th
  house from Natal Venus and Sun, and this may translate into tough
  times for those with direct Jupiter in their charts. However, since
  Vidya has retrograde Jupiter, it will work in her favour.

• Transiting
  Saturn aspects Natal Venus and Sun.

Astrological
Predictions

• Venus'
  return motion will ensure that Vidya stays in the spotlight in
  December 2011.

• Sun's
  return motion will take place in January 2012, so that will be the
  beginning of an important couple of months for her.

• The
  first half of 2012 is excellent, and may see her win an award and
  take on some brilliant movies, but the second half looks average.

• The
  transiting Saturn's aspect on natal Sun and Venus will ensure she
  will make selective but impactful appearances in 2012.

• Vidya
  may take on another offbeat movie in the next year, feels Ganesha.

In
conclusion, 2012 looks like an outstanding year for Vidya Balan, with
her focusing on quality performances, which generate large-scale
audience appreciation.
