Being curvy is the new rage in Bollywood

B-Town changes shape as more rounded bodies become talk of town

Kareena Kapoor and her size zero statistic may have been the benchmark of Bollywood a few years ago, but the current crop of girls in tinsel town are not exactly thin. Even Bebo has shed her reed-thin look for the curves.

Imran Khan had recently declared, "Most women don't know how to flatter their bodies. I am not a great admirer of size-zero figures. I like curves on a woman as it really flatters her body."

While the late American actress Mae West had declared, "The curve is more powerful than the sword!" And the one time sex goddess should know this from her experience and from lots of it. Here's looking at the curvaceous B-Town girls...


Kajal Agarwal
She's done South flicks where they prefer voluptuous women. And she hasn't shed it for Singham with which she makes her B-Town debut.



Sonakshi Sinha
She shed some 30 kilos for her Dabangg launchpad at co-star Salman Khan's insistence. But this girl has a tendency to pile on and now just lets her body be.



Vidya Balan
Flayed for her weight and her dress sense, Vids improved on both counts and let her histrionics do the talking. But, for Dirty Pictures she's back with the love handles.




Zarine Khan
Ironically, for her launch in Veer she was asked to pile on the kilos as she was to play an Indian princess. Co-star Sallu had put her on a chocolate and cake diet. She gymmed vigorously to shed it but seems like it isn't working as Character Dheela saw her with all her curves.



Sameera Reddy
Yet another name in the industry who has had a constant battle with her weight. Though she has been extensively shedding the flab, sexy Sam looks best with her curves.
