The trend is made by the viewing public, not the other way around. Because if any of these women gain five pounds the public will critique them to death, I have even read people call Sonakshy a "water buffalo" due to her humongous size, yet when you see her in person she is even thinner than most average girls. In India the public can be brutal and fat/age/looks shaming is very real. Since they are all looking to be marketable and their career depends on looks you cannot blame them for trying to stay thin. India seems to have expiration dates stamped on people and appearance rules, so shelf life expiration comes fast as if at 35 and 120 pounds they need to start looking fir a wheel chair and a retirement home......
