Actress Vidya Balan has been rechristened 'Bombaat Balan' by her fans
after her sensuous avatar as Silk in her forthcoming movie 'The Dirty
Picture'.
"Bombaat Balan, people have started calling me Bombat Balan! I
found it quite funny the first time, but now I am used to it. Great!"
said the actress in an interview.
After having been seen in graceful and classy roles like
'Parineeta' and 'Paa', Vidya suprised everyone when she decided to play a
sex symbol in Milan Luthria's "The Dirty Picutre", but it was not a
cakewalk for her.

"I would have to say that Silk (her character name in the film) has
been an extremely demanding, exhausting, tiring and yet very fulfilling
and exhilarating role for me to have played."
"It's like a workout. Sometimes you kill yourself during the
workout and you feel dead after that. But it's also extremely
exhilarating and there is a sense of adrenalin rush after the workout
and that is how I feel after this film," Vidya, 32, said.
It may have been an exhausting role but at the same time, Vidya
thoroughly enjoyed the experience of playing an actress of the 1980s and
1990s.
"Films in those times were full of masala and entertainment.
Songs and dance used to start at any point in the film amidst pots,
colours and oranges. I have done all that in this film, so all my wishes
are fulfilled," she said.
Vidya started her career with 'Parineeta', an adaptation of Sarat
Chandra Chattopadhyay's book. After that she did glamorous roles in
'Heyy Babyy' and 'Kismet Konnection', but her fans liked her more in
films like 'No One Killed Jessica'.
This is not for the first time that Vidya is doing something
unconventional. Even in 'Ishqiya', she played a woman who oozes
snesuality and mouthed expletives to make her role convincing.
She seems to be experimenting further in that direction with "The
Dirty Picture", which is releasing Dec 2. In the film, she will be seen
romancing Naseeruddin Shah, Emraan Hashmi and Tusshar Kapoor.
After 'The Dirty Picture', Vidya has Sujoy Ghosh's 'Kahaani' opposite Emraan.
