Oddly, I've heard some people say quite the opposite -- that she self-consciously plays her roles in a coquettish way. And actually I agree with that. I think the whole discussion stems from this fact. And I opined contrarily. This whole thing about her 'sensuality' struck my mind (And her failure to show such in Ishqiya) after this bit of praise:

Husain seemed particularly smitten with Balan, saying he would like to cast her in a film some day. 'I'm absolutely bowled over by Vidya Balan. She conveys pure Indianness, feminine, sensual, without making an effort.'
