In a 2012 interview, when Kareena Kapoor Khan was asked about Vidya Balan’s The Dirty Picture, she narrated an anecdote related to her husband Saif Ali Khan. Kareena Kapoor Khan said her husband Saif Ali Khan hasn’t even seen the movie ‘The Dirty Picture’. Kareena said that every time she asked to watch this film, Saif Ali Khan turned around.
Saif Ali Khan was afraid of it
She said that her husband (Saif Ali Khan) might have feared that she (Kareena Kapoor Khan) might also show her desire to do something similar. It is known that in 2011, Vidya Balan’s ‘The Dirty Picture’ was a biographical drama based on the life of late actress Silk Smith.
Kareena Kapoor said – I’m not taking that risk
Speaking to India Today, Kareena Kapoor Khan said, “Vidya Balan was obviously the heroine of 2011… I don’t think I would ever take that risk, but even if I did, I would. it. It would have been satisfying to have a hero like Shah Rukh Khan or Salman Khan in it. So when a movie flops, there is something that can balance things out.
“People thought Silk Smitha was shameless”
Vidya Balan, while talking about The Dirty Picture, is known to have once said that people think Silk was bold because she used to dress or dress a certain way… but she was. There was the aspect of being fearless. Some people even feel that she was shameless, but I don’t see it that way.
