New Delhi, Nov 8 (IANS) Vidya Balan is quite relieved nowadays as she has been spared of a link-up with her co-star Arshad Warsi with whom she is shooting for 'Ishkiyan'.

'Vidya is happy that this time the media will not be able to link her with her co-star. Arshad is her good friend and he is happily married with two kids. So she is glad that she will be spared any link-ups this time,' a source said.

The two are shooting in Wai for Vishal Bharadwaj's 'Ishkiyan'. In the past, Vidya has been linked to all her co-stars including Shahid Kapur, Sanjay Dutt and John Abraham. She was also linked to Sajid Khan, who directed her in Akshay Kumar- starrer 'Heyy Babby'.

Vidya is having a wonderful time shooting in Wai. Unlike other actors who prefer to stay inside their vanity vans between the shots, Vidya loves spending time with nature.

A source said: 'Vidya loves to be in a natural environment. She enjoys nature walks in between shots. She finds the entire experience absolutely soothing.'
