There is nothing wrong with me: Kareena
Noreen Aslam
BOMBAY—Kareena kapoor has been having a lot of dizzy spells of late. The
waif thin actress who collapsed on the sets of Tashan had yet another
episode of nausea and dizziness while shooting in Goa for Golmaal
Returns. “Kareena had recently claimed that she wanted to be like
Victoria Beckham”
Sources claim that the heat and humidity of Goa may have got to her size
zero frame. However, Kareena claims that she did not faint but just hurt
her knee. Kareena is said to have been having these bouts after she lost
oodles of weight for Tashan.
According to sources, Kareena’s size zero figure, has her family
concerned about her health. Her dad Randhir Kapoor said, “I have told
her to stop the ‘diet business’. She has become quite thin and must not
lose more weight, but Bebo tells me that I should go on a diet because I
am terribly overweight. Now what can you say to that!”
The actress is looking stylish as ever and even recently claimed that
she wanted to be like Victoria Beckham (hopefully for her style and not
her vanishing body). Kareena has a huge fan base of mostly young girls
who look up to her as a role model. Everyone’s hoping that she’s not
sending out the wrong message to her fans. But according to Delhi’s
leading dieticians, an increasing number of young girls want to become
as thin as her which can have an effect on their heart and bones in the
long run.
The industry’s reaction…
The media just loves her new look which is totally out of the box. Ad
Man Prahlad Kakkar says, “Now she looks more attractive. She has broken
her golu image and now looks like a woman. She doesn’t need to put on
weight or else she will again look motu.” Photographer Daboo Ratnani who
has been shooting Kareena for over a decade claims, “She has never
looked better. The weight loss suits her because her features come out
really well, so one gets a stronger picture with all expressions
visible.”
Kareena’s response
Her new avatar of 23 inches and 48kgs makes the point that size does
sometimes matter to make an impression. A huge amount of endorsements
started pouring in once she attained her new look. But Kareena denies
ever being on an orange-juice-only diet or even attempting a size-zero
figure.
“I am not thin. The media makes me out to be. I don’t diet. One look at
me and you know I am quite healthy,” she stated. Even her yoga guru
Bharat Thakur with whom Kareena has been working with to lose weight
noted that Kareena’s diet doesn’t involve starving to burn calories, but
rather, eating healthily. “She’s also been practicing yoga for the past
year for 90 minutes every day. She can easily reduce to whichever look
she wishes to in a healthy way.” |
