Silk Wins 'National Award'

Not the yesteryear sex-bomb lady, but the one who has portrayed the role of 'Silk' on silver screen walked away with this prestigious appreciation. Awards come to talented and this 'talent' deserves it.

Vidya Balan, the sexy Malayali beauty who took Bollywood by a storm with her role of 'Silk' in 'The Dirty Picture' is the 'National Best Actress' now. The government of India has declared best actress National Film Award 2011 for her. For a riveting performance in the role of Silk Smitha, the estranged vamp of South Cinema, Vidya was the numero-uno choice for the award, say analysts.
In the film 'The Dirty Picture', directed by Milan Luthria, red-hot Vidya Balan added dignity and vulnerability to the role of vamp with her erotic expressions and limitless skin show. More than the vulgarity in her attire, a strong dose of message to the people especially for girls obsessed with stardom, played a crucial role in the success of this picture. Congrats Vidya Balan!
