'I can't negotiate monies with him': Vidya Balan talks about the cons of working with her producer-husband Siddharth Roy Kapur

Vidya Balan is riding high on the success of her latest release Mission Mangal, which has joined the Rs 100 crore club within days of its release on August 15. While her producer husband Siddharth Roy Kapur has bankrolled films like Dangal, ABCD, Haider, Shahid, Chennai Express, Barfi among others, Vidya has apparently vowed never to work with him on a project after Ghanchakkar. In her recent interview with film critic Anupama Chopra, the actress revealed the reason behind it and said, "Because I just think it's...Like I feel I could have a problem with my director or my producer on another film and I could just, have it off with, not have a fight...I don't really fight but I argue, I reason. Actually reason is more like it. I couldn't do that with Siddharth when it's so personal I think because I can fight with Siddharth, I'll end up fighting with him (bursts out laughing)."

Vidya stated, "I just think it's safer (not to work with him), I want to retain the sanctity of our relationship, of our marriage. There have been a few instances when he's liked a script and I've liked a script then either of us has passed on it," adding that, "I can't negotiate monies with him (laughs). Imagine, if he says you should be getting this much and I'd be like I should be getting 10 times that amount, that means you're devaluing me and then other issues will show up (laughs). So I don't want to get into that space at all."

She signed off by saying that she doesn't want to be in a position where anything is a threat to her and Siddharth's well being. "It's too precious for me," she quipped.
