3:17Now PlayingVidya Balan recently opened up about people's reaction to her decision to take up the role of Silk Smitha in 'Dirty Picture.' At one of the sessions at the 54th International Film Festival of India in Goa, the actress shared, 'There were some people who told me, ‘Are you sure? It’s going to ruin your career. It may actually spell the end of your career because you know you have been Miss Goody two shoes.' She added, 'I said, ‘Miss Goody two shoes ka kya matlab hai? I have hardly done 5-6 films. It’s not like 30 years into films, and then I’m trying something different. This is why I’m an actor.' While recalling how she bagged the lead role in the movie, the 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa' actress said, 'I was very excited at the prospect of getting to play Silk. But I have to tell you that the first time Milan Luthria came to me mujhe laga ki, ‘Aap ghalat darwaaze pe toh nahi aagaye because I wouldn’t believe that someone would actually offer me this role.' However, she mentioned, 'There was this burning desire to do things that people couldn’t imagine I could do but I knew I could do. I was thrilled to bits when the film came to me. I said yes instinctively.' Vidya Balan essayed the role of late actress Silk Smitha in 'Dirty Picture' and garnered immense praise for her performance. She won the Best Actress National Award for the film. For more news and updates, stay tuned to ETimes.
