Here Silk Smitha - There Margaret

It seems as if bio-pics have taken the film industry by storm. Gracious lady Meryl Streep has won the prestigious Best Actress Oscar for her sterling performance as Margaret Thatcher in the film ‘The Iron Lady.’ Similar is the scenario here in Bollywood as Vidya Balan has won the Film Fare and Star Dust Awards for best actress by portraying the role of South Indian film star, Silk Smitha in the film ‘Dirty Pciture.’

While, Maggie- as the former British Prime Minister was called helped Conservatives to score a resounding victory and ruled with an Iron hand, Silk Smitha won the hearts of many fans but struggled to keep up with her image and popularity in real life and committed suicide.
