Bebo cuts Sonakshi and Vidya down to size

Kareena says she will not gain weight just to follow the trend of fat women which is emerging in Bollywood.

Bollyood actor Kareena Kapoor aka Bebo has reclaimed the size-zero look she had in Tashan for a sizzling item song Halkat Jawani. In an interview to Times of India, the blunt and daring actor says, “This time my body is curvier. I wanted this body for my item song in the film. Since it is a rigorous and raunchy number, I decided to go for a slim and sexy look. But I still have curves in the right places. It may be a trend now with some actors, but I definitely don’t want to look plump or fat!”

When asked to comment on fellow actors Vidya Balan and Sonakhshi Sinha, who take pride in their curves, Bebo animatedly replies, “Being fat is not sexy! Anyone who says that is talking crap. Voluptuous is sexy, but fat is out. Any woman who says she doesn’t want to be thin is talking nonsense. It’s every girl’s dream.”

Kapoor also shares the diet plan that helped her regain this sexy look. “The key to a sexy figure is a great diet, combined with the right exercise. My dietician Rujuta Diwekar combines fat and protein, and tells me to eat everything in moderation, and every two hours. She keeps changing my diet so that my body doesn’t get bored. I recently went to Turkey for eight days and it was more like a health trip. I was training twice a day and was on a strict diet. I ate salads, hummus with pita bread, strawberries and olives. For dinner, I had an Indian cook make daal, rice and sabzi,” the actor says.

The actor adds that along with the diet, she made sure she did her regular yoga routines.

And how does her man Saif Ali Khan like the new Kareena? “He appreciates the fact that I love the challenge of disciplining myself for a role and how I do it. Saif always gives me the encouragement I need,” says Bebo.
