A source revealed to a daily, “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.”
Though some would like to blame the production unit for using unhygienic water for the shoot, a source confirmed a daily, “Balaji Motion Pictures had organised for mineral water to be filled in the bathtub. Luthria is very particular about his actors getting the best. Despite the precautions, Vidya developed the allergy. It could be due to the bathtub, which was hand painted. It could be the soap or maybe just the fact that she had remained in soap water for a long time.”
But the leading dermatologist in Andheri in Mumbai pointed out it wasn’t the water but the allergic reaction happened to Vidya’s skin from the quality of soap that was used in the bathtub.
"Like most other actresses, Vidya too must be using a soap with a lesser percentage of alkali.
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 to a tabloid.
The scene however, did not suffer as much as Vidya. “Hiccups are not uncommon to a shoot. This was one such incident in ‘Dirty Picture’. The first schedule in Mumbai has been completed. The second schedule kicks off in Hyderabad in a few days. Vidya will have time till then to recover completely. Hopefully, she`ll be fine by then,” concluded our source.
