These days, Vidya Balan is flying really high. Why shouldn’t she? The girl has garnered critical as well as commercial acclaim in no time.

Ever since The Dirty Picture got screened, Vidya B has been hounded by film producers (and some other people). The smart cookie that she is, the actress is taking it slow, because she’s already inundated with lots of goodies. The latest of which is a brand new apartment that her boyfriend, producer Siddharth Roy Kapoor, has got for her. No, he hasn’t bought it, it’s a rented place, and a darn pricey at that.

Hmm… don’t worry Vidya B, some day you’ll get a house of your own.
