Hot Vidya Balan Photo Shoot
Vidya Balan has never exposed as much - but in "The Dirty Picture", inspired by late southern sex icon Silk Smitha's life, she has painted a perfect picture in an itsy-bitsy red blouse matched with luscious red lipstick.
The actress stands undaunted even as three men - Naseeruddin Shah, Tusshar Kapoor and Emraan Hashmi - get too close for comfort in the movie.

Silk Smitha - The Hot South Indian Actress
Silk Smitha (2 December 1960 -- 23 September 1996) born as Vijayalakshmi in Eluru, Andhra Pradesh, left school after her fourth standard due to financial constraints. She became a film star by accident when she moved with her aunt to Madras.
Smitha made her debut in the Malayalam film Inaye Thedi in 1979. Silk Smitha went on to star in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada and a few Hindi films. Her dance numbers, semi-nude scenes and bold performances in films like Moondru Mugam made her the ultimate symbol of sensuality.
Some film critics, historians and journalists have referred to her as a "soft porn" actress. One of her films, Layanam, has earned a cult status in the Indian adult film industry, and was remade as Reshma ki Jawani. Her most respected film is Moondram Pirai, remade as Sadma.
In 1996, Smitha was found dead in her Chennai apartment. The previous year she had tried to become a film producer. Financial problems, disillusionment in love and an alcohol dependency apparently led to depression. It is suspected that Smitha committed suicide, but the circumstances of her death remain a mystery.
