Actress Vidya Balan may have charmed painter MF Hussain with her acting histrionics, but it seems like his muse still continues to be actress Amrita Rao. In fact, the actor, who’s just returned from a vacation in London with family, also spent a lot of time catching up with the painter, who had invited her there, after he loved her performance in her last film with Tusshar Kapoor.

According to sources, Hussain had even arranged for personal screenings of Love U Mr Kalakar for his own family there. A source revealed that Hussain loved the film and post the screening, couldn’t stop praising the pretty actor. “Amrita has yet again charmed me as the vivacious-girl-next-door,” the painter said.

The painter had earlier spoken about how he felt that Amrita is a rare combination of innocence and beauty, a rarity at times when most Bollywood leading ladies are reduced to item-girls!
