Being curvy is absolutely fine...Beyonce is curvy, so is biapasha...madhuri was curvy...sridevi was kinda overweight but atleast she made an effort to dress appropriately for her size...katrina kaif has killer curves too...men like curvy women...
IMO, vidya is just plain lazy who's hiding under the excuse of "being curvy" to make her shape sound more acceptable. Im not telling her to go starve herself so tht we can see her ribs onscreen...but a lil bit of toning wont kill her...especially considering the fact that she is an actor and works in the entertainment industry...i mean, if she was a random everyday woman, id say shes fine the way she is...but she is in the movies comeon...
When vidya did TDP, her weight was applauded coz she was in character. Shes a good actress sure...but she cant use tht as an excuse.Being a gr8 actor dosent mean u neglect the way u look onscreen...soo many gr8 actors like aamir, amitabh, naseeruddin shah, shabana azmi, tabu,konkona, heck even the so called ugly actors down the south (dhanush, rajnikanth,karthik, allu arjun etc) put so much effort into the way they look onscreen... they either
a) try to maintain a proportionate body tht looks presentable onscreen or
b) if they dunt have a good body, then they atleast wear clothes appropriate for their body shape...they dunt thrust their jelly bellies and seam busting bodies in our face...
cinema is a visual medium at the end of the day. there has to be a certain aesthetic value to the way people look onscreen.
just my two cents...
