No paragliding for now

After paragliding in Wai on her birthday in December, Vidya had enrolled for a 10-day workshop in Panchgani but had to cancel her plans as the shooting of Balki's Pa requires those dates.u00a0

She says, "I love all kinds of adventure and water sports from paragliding to bungee jumping and had booked myself for a 10-day course in Panchgani but now the film needs those dates. Though I am disappointed, I am sure they will have another one again, which I will be able to attend."
