Vidya Balan's lip-lock in The Dirty Picture haven't reportedly gone down too well with her beau, Siddharth Roy Kapoor, the CEO of a corporate production-distribution studio. Word is that when reports of the star's kissing scenes with co-stars Emraan Hashmi and Tusshar Kapoor appeared, the man in her life did raise the topic.

"Naturally, Siddharth wasn't too pleased about her kissing scenes and asked her why she agreed to shoot them," revealed a source. "Though it's also a fact that he doesn't interfere in Vidya's career, and lets her take her own decisions. Siddharth also tried asking Vidya if there was a way she could get the scenes in question toned down," added the source.

However a source associated with film's producer Ekta Kapoor maintains that they're not toning down any scene. He reasons, "The film is about the life of Silk Smitha sassy girl. But there's also a good measure of dark humour, intense drama. So whatever Vidya's shot, is in keeping with the subject and her character."

"It goes without saying that it's not a very easy scene to shoot. The film seeks to push the envelope further, that's the kind of clarity she and I share, right from the start. She's very professional and everything went off fine. This is just one aspect of the movie, there are so many more. Nonetheless, there was no discomfort when she shot the scenes in question," said director Milan Luthria. Asked if Vidya had asked them to tone down the kissing scenes at the behest of her beau, Milan stated: "I've no knowledge of Vidya's personal life. We just discuss work. That's it."
