Getting under the skin!

Actors work really hard at getting under the skin of the characters they play, and some leave us with memorable performances
When Vidya Balan got 'dirty', she managed to make every other heroine feel the heat with her Silk Smitha act.
That's because the actress got under the character's skin so well, that the viewer's forgot they were watching Balan on screen.There are many actors who've managed to made the viewers forget who they are watching, and given us some memorable performances.
Amitabh Bachchan in Paa: The third National Award that the actor received for this film couldn't have been more well-deserved. Amitabh WAS Auro, an intelligent and witty 12-year-old boy with the rare genetic defect progeria. An extremely tough role, played to perfection by the supremely talented actor.
Priyanka Chopra in 7 Khoon Maaf: She commits seven murders in the film but the audience still couldn't get themselves to blame Priyanka. That's because she made us empathise with her. A class act by Priyanka. And now, she's set to play an autistic girl in the upcoming Barfee. We're sure she won't disappoint!
Abhishek Bachchan in Guru: Much like his paa, Abhishek Bachchan was a delight to watch in Guru. The intense acting, coupled with the right looks and mannerisms, was what made the role of Gurukant Desai so appealing and inspiring.
Hrithik Roshan in Guzaarish: The movie might have failed on the Box Office but no-one who saw Hrithik Roshan's performance in the film had a bad word to say about it. It must have been an extremely tough act for the actor to play the paraplegic character of Ethan, yet he did it with extreme dignity and portrayed it with elan.
