For many Bollywood artistes, festivals are a big opportunity to make lots of dough. But Vidya Balan seems to be an exception. The actress has rejected a few invitations from Navratri organisers seeking her presence at garba events.

&ldquo;Over the last one month, organisers from Ahmedabad, Surat and Pune have approached Vidya for dandiya nights in Gujarat. They were willing to give her a hefty cheque for an appearance. However, she has rejected all offers and in fact, suggested that they could spend the money towards social causes, including children&rsquo;s education and sanitation campaigns,&rdquo; informs a source close to the actress.
It is said that Vids had accepted a Dahi Handi invitation last year only after the organiser agreed to make donations for the treatment of girls battling heart ailments. &ldquo;She has been trying to convince organisers to do the same for Navratri too,&rdquo; adds the source.
Vidya was unavailable for comment, but her spokesperson confirmed the news.
