SONAM KAPOOR
“Every woman should remember that it’ ’s not so much about being fat or thin, it’s about being at a healthy weight. It was my mom who helped me lose 35 kilos, and it changed my life. I had to give up all the unhealthy things that I love—fried food, chocolates, ice-cream m. Yes, I do feel the pressure to be fit; I exercise a lot to keep the weight off.”
VIDYA BALAN
“The world is acknowledging that we’re not the weaker sex, we’re the privileged sex, so celebrate that. And part of belonging to the feminine world is the acceptance of your curves. A little ‘fat’ here or there is fine, if you celebrate it, the world will. I’ve been called the most desirable ‘12-kilo overweight’ in The Dirty Picture, take a cue. Go eat that muffin that you’ve been wanting to!”
SABA AZAD
“Popular media has had a severe effect on the aesthetics and concepts of beauty across the world. There is a standardised understanding of beauty that’s being sold the world over, which is harmful to women and can have serious repercussions. I feel that the matter is simple—each culture and race comes with its own beautiful characteristics, and we should not try and disguise them in an attempt to become a prototype of someone else. It is our individuality that sets us apart, so retain it and revel in it. Being obsessed with your weight is unhealthy mentally, as well as physically. Eat well, exercise and treat your body with respect and in turn, it willl serve yoyou well.”
MUGHDA GODSE
“Thin is never unhealthy, if f you are built that way. On the other hand, obesity can le ead to lifestyle diseases. Women without judging, should talk about body weight in a helpful way, so o that they are aware of the d angers. Look ata Vidya Balan,, what a stupenndous job b she has done inn Thedir rtypicture desppite her lo ove handles.”
