Actress Vidya Balan has reacted to an FIR being filed against B-town heartthrob Ranveer Singh over his controversial nude photoshoot. Stating that she think the people who filed the FIR do not have much to do in life, Vidya said that if someone doesn't like it (Ranveer's nude photoshoot), then they should close the paper or throw it while adding that it's a waste of time to get into FIRs.
While speaking to the media at Kubbra Sait's book launch on Thursday, when asked about FIR being filed against Ranveer Singh, Vidya Balan said, "Maybe they (people who filed the FIR) don't have much work to do, hence they are wasting their time on these things. If you don't like it, then close the paper or throw it, do what you wish to. Why get into an FIR?"

I want to wear nice shit. Eat my f****** a**, I will wear nice f****** shit. I bust my balls, I work 20-hour days. I`m not complaining -- I`m only too happy and too grateful -- but I go f****** hard. I will f****** buy Gucci, I will wear it from head to toe. Anybody who judges me can eat my f****** a**."
