I’m waiting to paint Vidya: M F Husain

Vidya is gorgeous!’: The man is quite enamoured with his latest muse. Ask him what’s that one thing about Vidya that captivates him and he gets lyrical. “She’s gorgeous and blessed with an earthiness, which enchants you. She has certain unique characteristics, which suit the main protagonist in my new film Comedy.com. I have already started working on the script. As the name suggests, it will be a full-on comedy, which will be subtle and not slapstick. God willing, I will start the project as soon as Vidya allots me the dates.”

On the canvas of love: Along with casting her in his film, Husain is also looking forward to paint his beautiful muse. “For me it’s all about vision and the image. So, the entire storyboard will first be painted with a series of paintings done on Vidya, before we start filming her. In fact, I’m waiting to paint her! I spoke to her last week and now I’m looking forward to meeting her,” says the besotted painter.

‘ITNE SAARE AAM!’: Ask him if he has missed his fave mangoes this summer being away from India, and Husain replies with a throaty chuckle: “My friends in India have been sending me so many alphonsos in summer that I’m overwhelmed! Itne saare aam toh maine India main bhi nahin khaye! I guess when you are away, your friends remember you more! But, I’m really going to miss the bhuttas in the forthcoming monsoons. There was a good-looking bhuttewali in Delhi, who roasted the yummiest bhutta in the world, and she even asked for my autograph! Alas, those days are history! The current reality of my life is – Nikla Hindustan se, pahuncha Arabistan! But, this pain has been a boon in disguise and given me some more fillip to experiment with creativity!”
