As the film, which was based on the life of adult film star Silk Smitha, has completed seven years on Sunday, Vidya, who rose to a spectacular amount of fame for the role of Silk, became emotional and penned a heartfelt post on the Instagram saying, the film changed her life forever.
“On December 2, 2017, 7 years ago, The Dirty Picture released and changed my life forever. But everytime someone asks me how I did it, I dont know what to say. Perhaps because Milan made it so easy for me… He hand held me throughout and all I wanted was to do justice to Silk and live up to the faith that had been placed in me by Ekta Kapoor (producer) and Milan,” the 39-year-old actress wrote.
Also featuring actors Tusshar Kapoor, Naseeruddin Shah and Emraan Hashmi, The Dirty Picture released in 2011. Vidyas uninhibited portrayal as Silk Smitha won her a lot of praise and a National Award.

She thanked Luthria for making her “feel free as a bird” and thanked Ekta for giving her the 1990s hit sitcom Hum Paanch and a movie like The Dirty Picture.
“Milan, however, tells me, his big concern was that he should not let me down. Of course, he did not and not just that, he lifted me so high that I felt free as a bird… For that and for believing in me, thank you, my dearest Ekta, for Hum Paanch, maybe there would have been no The Dirty Picture for me without Hum Paanch,” she added.
Along with the post, Vidya also posted a picture with Luthria — a capture from Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukones wedding reception here on Saturday night.
