Vidya Balan Dazzles At Padma Shri Awards 2014

Vidya Balan is one of the few women in Bollywood who can carry herself well in a saree. The Indian beauty who received the Padma Shri Awards 2014 along with South Indian actor, Kamal Haasan, looked dazzling in the cheery yellow saree, the gold jewellery, the red lips and severe hair to go along with the South Indian look.

At the ceremony in Rashtrapati Bhavan, Vidya Balan was honoured with the prestigious Padma Shri award 2014, which is India's fourth highest civilian award. Actress Vidya Balan carried herself to perfection in this heavily decked up saree. The bright colour of the saree and the makeup she wore along with the look was perfect. In the recent past, Vidya Balan has stepped out into the limelight wearing a series of Westernised attires which caught a lot of negative attention.

VIDYA SHOWS HER BABY BUMP!

However, when the actress adorns herself in a saree, she looks breathtaking. At the ceremony in Rashtrapati Bhavan, Vidya's smile on her face was all the more beautiful as she received the Padma Shri award from President of India, Pranab Mukherjee.

On receiving the Padma Shri award 2014, Vidya Balan said that she never imagined to receive such an honour, "With a film award, there is a nomination process, so you know there's a possibility. Here, there was nothing of that sort. It was a wonderful surprise."

Here are some of the most stunning moments of Vidya Balan when she received the Padma Shri award 2014:

In Yellow

At the ceremony in Rashtrapati Bhavan, the beautiful Vidya Balan looked amazing in a bright yellow saree. The saree which she wore for the ceremony to receive the Padma Shri was just about perfect. The border of the saree which had a touch of pink and bottle green caught our attention the most.

Her Makeup

Vidya is one actress in tinsel town who does not like heavy makeup. The actress applied a slight pink blush and cherry lips which made her look outstanding. The red bindi and the mark of marriage made her look just perfect.

Indian Style Earrings

The golden jhumkas which she wore along with the saree was a perfect choice. The entire set of her jewellery is from Jaipur Gems.

Golden Necklace

We loved the golden necklace wrapped around her neck. Though it was a bit too glitzy, it went well with her South Indian look.

Simple Hairstyle

The simple hairstyle she wore to the the ceremony in Rashtrapati Bhavan to receive her Padma Shri award 2014 was traditional. The bun hairstyle was wrapped up with fresh sweet smelling flowers adding to her Indian look.

Nail Art

The actress Vidya Balan applied a simple nail polish to her clean manicured nails. Opting for transparent nail polish was just the right pick.

Kamal Haasan

Kamal Haasan was the other South Indian actor who received the Padma Shri award 2014 along with Vidya Balan from the president, Pranab Mukherjee. The actor looked dapper in a black formal suit.
