Vidya Balan can pull off any role with aplomb. Whether it was her
character as Lolita in Parineeta or Sabrina in No one killed Jessica,
Vidya Balan completely justified her character in the film and carried
off the role with absolute conviction. This is perhaps why the makers of
Dirty Picture approached Vidya Balan to portray late actress Silk
Smitha on-screen.
While Vidya's character in Dirty Picture is very different from her real life character, Vidya is very confident. Speaking to a leading newspaper, Vidya said that as an actor she wants to live the characters of different people through her films. Seeing these unconventional films as an opportunity to be grabbed, Vidya said, “I want people to come out after watching each and every film of mine and say, 'This is not the Vidya we know' or 'This is not the Vidya we saw last time'.â€
Vidya Balan sees Aamir Khan and Vidhu Vinod Chopra as actors and filmmakers who defy rules. She said that whenever she has to take a risky decision, she thinks of Aamir Khan and Vidhu Vinod Chopra.
Speaking about her romantic relationship with filmmaker Siddharth Kapoor, Vidya Balan said that she was extremely happy with Siddharth. However, before signing off, she clearly stated that though she wanted to marry and become a bride, she was not married yet.
How was it playing Silk Smitha?
I have never enjoyed being a woman more than in The Dirt Picture. It celebrates the woman like a rainbow in all her colours. Some people might have a problem in digesting the character but as a woman I am sure you will like the film.
Silk Smitha was known as a soft star. Are you afraid that you might inherit the tag after this film (just as Emraan Hashmi got the serial kisser label after Murder)?
I am an actor and I am portraying Silk’s character in The Dirty Picture. So I don’t think there will be a possibility of that tag being attached to my name or anything of that sort. I just hope it adds another shade to me as an actor.How did Ekta Kapoor (producer of The Dirty Picture) zero on you for playing Silk?
How Ekta Kapoor thought of me, how Rajat Aroraa could have written so beautifully…I don’t know. If I do a good job, I take the responsibility. No…honestly, if I do a good job, I have to thank the vision, to the great writing and the support.
