The story of Silk Smitha is a true journey of a talented and passionate woman. While Silk's quest for acting made her a big story for a movie, Tara's love for luxuries and illicit acts to obtain them are not even sufficient for news-item. Silk was never involved in selling her body for sex rather renting it to silver-screen. 'Dirty Picture' acquired a cult status for its realistic portrayal of true pain, lust and love. Critics say that some producers are trying to cash on the heat in Film Nagar, by making a B-grade movie in the name of Tara.
Not only Tara, the stories of proved call girls like Bhuvaneswari, Saira Bhanu and Jyothi combined will not become a 'Dirty Picture', a critic quipped. Vidya Balan's classic acts have propelled Silk Smitha's image as an unfortunate diva with loads of talent, while Tara may not get that status in her life time.
