Actors these days are prepared to go to any extent to get into the skin of their characters on screen. Consider "Babumoshai Bandookbaaz" fame actress Bidita Bag. She chose to be barefoot while in Bhopal for acing the character of social worker Daya Bai in the latter's biopic.

Talking about her preparation for the role in the movie, Bidita shared: "It was very, very hard for me but I knew I had to prove myself as an actor. The preparation for this film was a painful process for me emotionally. For media and people to love my character, I prepared really hard. It was not easy because I am not like her (Daya Bai). I was trying to find a body language, posture and voice command."
