Vidya Balan from on-screen dirty to off-screen clean

Recent news has it that Union Minister Jairam Ramesh has��approached none other than Vidya Balan to be involved with campaigning for clean drinking water and sanitation.

The Times of India reported how the public will see ��The Dirty Picture�۝ (2011) actress spreading awareness for the cause with Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan ���formally known as Total Sanitation Campaign. Ramesh described Balan�۪s involvement as ���a clean picture�۝ and is hoping that it will bring��about��more awareness��regarding cleanliness and hygiene.

Speaking to reporters about her involvement and becoming an ambassador, Balan stated, ���For an actor, what can be a better thing than doing a dirty picture on screen and off screen a clean picture. I think this role will work a lot because we are working on a national movement�۝.

Although India is one of the world fastest growing economies, sufficient sanitation is still a huge problem in the country.
