Well, you've got to compete with the best

As I said, I am not particularly against Vidya Balan. If you want to lower the bar, I'd present Madhoo, (minus the innumerable Kannada, Telugu and Hindi roles where she wsa basically there to get drenched in the rain etc.). Look at even something like Yeshwant - she oozes sensuality in a everyday 'homely' way (ofcourse like Bala said, that's her default mode so maybe it is the smartness of the director to exploit it for that role for that scene!).

Put in a different way, there seems to be a fakeness in VB's "participative" sensual depictions, as though forcefully rushing out of her frigid, inhibited persona. Obviously, my take is that she hasnt quite reached "Her Nadia ness" levels in this respect but has covered enough in that direction to cross over to nadhiya's side
