NO!

Nivi Srivastava, 24, journalist

“Studies seem to be rather anti the curvy girl right now. Apparently, just looking at a chubby model will make us fat, and hanging with a ‘big’ friend will trigger a binge! The reports are upsetting, offending, and completely ignore the harm caused by ‘skinnies’. It’s hardly news that stickthin models set an unrealisti­c standard for women, create ripples of insecurity, and make millions anxious that their non anorexic figures are unattracti­ve. So yes, I am rooting for the overweight girl, because God knows we need some real female role models, women many of us can relate to, instead of just a bunch of beautiful hangers.”
