Vidya Balan has finished the shooting of ‘The Dirty Picture’ but the actress is still seen in her character. She says that her co-stars Emraan Hashmi and Tusshar Kapoor are busy in their next film and Naseeruddin Shah is not open to promote it as much as it required “So Silk is still in me.”
For celebrating her mother’s birthday Vidya took a day off, she says, “On Sunday, we’d hosted a dinner at our Chembur house for almost a 100 guests, it was a welcome break.”
These days Vidya is dressing herself like the woman of 80s and she is happy the kind of roles she has done in her films, the actress says, “Lalita (Parineeta, 2005) and Krishna (Ishqiya, 2010) were perceived as sensuous while Silk is sexy because this time, the boldness is more sensual, whether it’s the dance moves, the clothes or the body language.”
When she was asked if sex symbol tag could stick with her, she replies, “I hope people connect with Silk and enjoy her unapologetic, uninhibited sexuality. But I’m sure when Kahani comes along in January, they will be as receptive to the six-months pregnant woman who takes on the world in search of her husband. Usually a woman-centric film like this revolves around the supernatural, but there’s nothing other-wordly about this thriller, it’s very real and raw.”
She also knows that people still love her Parineeta’s character Lalita, Vidya of Paa and Ishqiya’s Krisna. She says, “I hope they’ll remember Silk too but not just as a sex symbol. There’s more to her than just her titillating item numbers.”
