Bolly is getting plastic day by day. Foreign locates, skinny girls, no stories thats the order of day of a typical hindi movie. The most challenging acting task an actress can get today is to lose weight, fit in a swin suit, bikini and romance wid 40 sums. There is no spark left in the roles of a mainstream cinema. So if today someone decides to shake things and cast one of our female actresses.. stars in an Indian version of brigid jones. Where we get a desi chick .. who is working hard.. a bit over weight and complexed.. like a girl next door.. Then who do you think would be perfect to play this role.. Which indian actress can play the role of bridget jones perfectly..?

In Sonam Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra's words, " fat suits hai na".

So I guess it would be safe to say thats a consensus among all the actresses. I don't think any of them would gain weight to play Bridget Jones.

Well if they can lose weight for a role then why not gain it.. Thats why these girls arent actresses in true sense but they are stars.. An actor should be ready to do anything for a role. Anywayz k so even if they wear a fat suit.. who can pull it of.. These girls have done diva roles.. who can pull off bridget's role.. which is more than being a fat girl...

True, I agree which is why I admire actors like DDL, CB who change their weight, body language, accent as the script dictates. Nothing wrong with actors who don't do that, but for me, like you said, they are more of stars than actors.

But yes most actresses would totally lose weight if they had to portray insecurities driven by Anorexia.😉

Sure, thats correct, but most of Bridget Jones' insecurities (that drives the movie) arises out of her body image issues. If she wasn't overweight, there probably wouldn't have been a Bridget Jones.

No she struggles with more issues than just being fat.. she is worried about being a 30 something spinster..she haz a drinking problem.. problem with her love life and being fat is just one part of her insecuties..

Rani Mukherjee - hands down!!!!!!!!! And im not just saying this because she's my fav, I really truly, SINCERELY think that she could pull it off.

As far as the weight gain goes, many of them are afraid that their hormones will go all wack. Renee was lucky. Sometimes, weight gain can cause hormones to change and vice versa....

But Rani (if she wanted to gain) could do it VERY WELL!
