Her dream came true thanks to her endorsement deal with a new range of snacks brand. <img alt="Vidya Balan" src="/imagedata/2012/may/Vidya-Balan-1.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 1194px; " /> Vidya Balan &quot;This snack is a perfect marriage between healthy and tasty, and then (in this ad) I was getting to play a double role. Only Sridevi and Hemaji (Hema Malini) have done it so far. I have always wanted to do a double role,&quot; Vidya said. &quot;We don&#39;t have double roles for some reason in films anymore. So this (offer) was too good to be true. Too many things fitted my bill,&quot; she added. In the television commercial, Vidya will be seen in two avatars - her traditional &#39;Parineeta&#39; look and her sexy siren look from &#39;The Dirty Picture&#39;. Vidya, who won a National Award for &#39;The Dirty Picture&#39;, says the ad reflects her range of acting, and proves all those, who tried to typecast her, wrong. &quot;The ad took me back to &#39;Parineeta&#39;. For the longest time after &#39;Parineeta&#39;, people just wanted to see me as (in the look of) &#39;Parineeta&#39;. And they didn&#39;t think I was capable of much else. They wanted to pigeonhole me into a stereotype of sorts.&quot; &quot;But then slowly, one began to push the envelope and thankfully the audience has accepted me with open arms. I was getting to do all these things - Parineeta and Silk as diametrically different as possible in the ad film - and make a point, for the ad, and for myself,&quot; said the 33-year-old.
