Cats scare the wits out of Vidya Balan (Snippets)

New Delhi, Dec 19 (IANS) If there's one thing that sends shivers down actress Vidya Balan's spine, it's a cat.

"If there is a cat on the sets, Vidya drives the whole unit crazy. She sees to it that it is chased out. Until then, she remains petrified," a unit member said.

Though the actress is scared of all cats big and small, it saddens her if someone hurls stones at them.

"She can't bear to see stones being hurled to get rid of the cat. 'Why don't you just shoo it away', Vidya tells us often," the source added.

"I really wanted to see the film among people who would have whistled, hooted, and all of that. I have never seen a film like that, none of my films at least," she said.

The actress doesn't know how to whistle, but she was doubly excited when people started whistling at her bikini-clad incarnation on screen.
