Mumbai: 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!,” the actress said.
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, 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. (IANS)
