Vidhya Balan, the actress who playing the role of late glamour legend Silk Smitha faced a typical problem during a bath tub scene shot. After shooting for a bathtub scene, the actress developed a skin rash so severe that she had to be hurried to a dermatologist.
The skin disaster happened while Vidya was shooting for a bathing scene in Film City, Goregaon. Clad in a towel, the actress stepped into a tub filled with soap water. After some time, her skin started feeling rough. She ignored it initially. But when the rough patches gave way to red rashes, she raised the alarm.
A source revealed, “Vidya soon realised that she had developed an allergy. The rash spread all over her body. She quickly got dressed. Abandoning the shoot, she went to see the doctor immediately.”
“The soap used must have had a higher alkali content causing the skin to break out in rash. This happens when a person is exposed to soap water for a very long time,” said the doctor who gave treatment to the actress.
The scene however, did not suffer as much as Vidya.
