Rihanna
Rihanna, only recently, slammed the Size Zero tag and hailed it to be unhealthy and impractical. "You shouldn't be pressured into trying to be thin by the fashion industry, because they only want models that are like human mannequins,” she was quoted as saying, “They know that if we see an outfit on a mannequin in a shop window we will love it and want to buy it whatever size we are. That's why they have size zero models - they want to sell clothes. But you have to remember that it's not practical or possible for an everyday woman to look like that. Being size zero is a career in itself so we shouldn't try and be like them. It's not realistic and it's not healthy..."
Kareena Kapoor
Just a few months ago, Bollywood actresses were gung-ho about Size Zero. And making it the most talked about phenomenon was the plump Kareena Kapoor who metamorphosed into a plush Bebo. She lost tremendous weight and became a lanky, young girl... However, she claims to have lost weight in the right manner. “I haven’t felt fitter,” she told us then, “I don’t starve, I just eat the right things at the right time, exercise and everything falls into place.” But the trend soon changed. Kareena admitted that her boyfriend-actor Saif Ali Khan thought she was a hanger, and Kareena slowly but surely worked at getting her butt back. “I don’t think Size Zero is unhealthy if you know how to achieve it the right way... Yes, if you starve yourself to it, it could prove to be detrimental. I have put on some weight – again in the right manner. It’s just about looking good, feeling good, and for actors, doing what the role demands!”
Katrina Kaif
Popular actress Katrina Kaif on the other hand hasn’t sworn by ‘Size Zero’ ever. “For starters, I don’t think a size zero would suit me. I have a broad structure, and I think a little bit of weight looks nice! Whether it’s healthy or not, I really don’t know... I just hope people don’t refrain from the haven of food insensibly, though at the end of the day it’s each to his own!”
Actress Vidya Balan, who has also lost tremendous weight of late, maintains, “Anorexia is unhealthy. I sincerely believe that if one wishes to lose weight, it can be done in the right manner. However, Size Zero is not for us Indian women who are known for their curvaceous bodies. I’ve lost weight, but have ensured that the curves remain and that I don’t lose weight from the ‘essentials’.”
Size Zero is quite the thing among models walking the ramp. Model Pia Trivedi says, “The demand comes with the job. But the trend is slowly changing. People are enjoying watching fuller bodies. But yes, most models are size zero. It depends on how they maintain themselves. Yes, it could be unhealthy and impractical if women are literally going to do just about anything to fit into ‘that dress’. Some of us are blessed with great metabolism. We have healthy workout regimes, and touch wood, are in good health.”
