The extent to which actors today work hard for their roles is indeed commendable. And Vidya Balan has joined this group of actors. For her role in the upcoming Dirty Picture in which she plays Silk Smitha, the actress first had to put on some weight to appear curvaceous and now she has taken to smoking.
It is heard that for a scene in the movie, director Milan Lutharia wanted Vidya to smoke for real and the perfectionist that Vidya is, she agreed and ended up puffing 10 cigarettes.
