Vidya Balan in a bathtub mishap!

Vidya Balan will remember shooting her first bathtub scene for all the wrong reasons.

Playing the south siren Silk Smitha in director Milan Luthria's film Dirty Picture requires Vidya Balan to not just wear revealing clothes, but also take dips in the bathtub. While shooting for her first such scene at Filmcity in Goregaon recently, Vidya unfortunately ended up getting skin rashes. How?

From what we hear, director Milan Luthria ensured minimal crew on the set, and Vidya Balan, wrapped in a towel and a swimsuit beneath, stepped into the bathtub and began filming the scene that had her bathing and playfully blowing the soap bubbles. She did feel itchiness in her skin initially but ignored it. But when rashes began to appear all over her body, the actress panicked, stepped out of the bathtub, got dressed and left to see a dermatologist.
