While
the
debate
is
still
going
on
if
smoking
scenes
in
films
should
be
censored,
actress
Vidya
Balan
has
gone
ahead
smoking
a
few
cigarettes
–
of
course
only
for
her
role
in
The
Dirty
Picture.
Sources
said
that
she
decided
to
smoke
real
cigarette
to
give
an
authentic
look
to
her
role.
Vidya
has
not
smoked
both
on
screen
and
in
real
life
but
she
had
to
hold
cigarette
for
her
role
as
Silk
Smitha
in
The
Dirty
Picture.
Sources
said
that
she
ended
up
smoking
a
few
cigarettes
by
the
time
the
director
Milan
Luthria
okayed
the
shoot.
It
added
that
the
shooting
of
the
film
had
to
be
stopped
for
a
few
minutes,
as
the
actress
felt
giddy
after
smoking.
The
Dirty
Picture,
produced
by
Ekta
Kapoor,
is
one
of
the
most-awaited
films
of
the
year.
It
is
based
on
South
Indian
glam
doll
Silk
Smitha.
