Weighty issues for Vidya - Page 2

it's cos of issues like these that women rarely feel good or confident about themselves. where is the fun in being a stick thin willow? vidya is voluptuous & i think she should remain the way she is.

why can't a woman have a few extra pounds on her & still look gorgeous & glamourous? bollywood really has to change it's mentality about what is 'glamourous' and what is not.

Then maybe they should have changed Shahid, the boy is too baby-faced. He looks too young for most of the hot n happening female actors. I dont see the directors telling Shahid to change, maybe grow some stubble to look more mature but nah its always the women that has the flaws. If they feel Vidya needs to tone up to maintain a certain image for the role, then fine but they shouldn't pressure her to become too skinny coz there is no pleasing anyone. Take the example of Kareena, when she was curvacious, the media were saying she needs to tone up, now she is skinny, they are telling her to eat!

Quite right...Vidya looks gorgeous the way she is...As it is,there is no dearth of skinny actresses...Despite Vidya's being healthy,her films do well...Heyy Babyy is a super hit worldwide,and Vidya's not being all skin and bones didn't stop the audience from watching the film.....She doesn't need to strip to stay put in Bollywood,so I don't see why she needs to be skinny....It's infact Shahid who needs to do something about his babyish looks,for he looks way too young for almost ALL the leading ladies

Besides,I dont quite think the "skinny" look suits well on everyone..Personally,I felt Aishwarya Rai looked REALLY pulchritudinous and mesmeric in Shabd ...On the contrary,I felt she looked sickly and anorexic in Dhoom 2...Shah Rukh Khan looked amazing in KBC ,but looked a bit gaunt and scraggy on KWK where he was sporting the Om Shanti Om Look🤢..He looks plainly malnourished and shrunken..Six Pack/Washboard abs does not necessarily look good on all and sundry...Some men like Hrithik and John are naturally thin and lanky,the same physique wouldnt suit someone with a dissimilar body structure...

HUH....Vidya mght not be a size zero but she still is VERY gorgeous.....n wht sets her apart is tht she looks lik the heroines frm olden days, with the big expressive eyes and 24 karat smile.

I think its Shahid who is the problem here. only Amrita Rao is fit to be paired with him....every1 else looks older to him! I dont see why Vidya has to lose weight....she looks perfectly fine to me. She's not got an hour-glass figure, but she's still very pretty....and unlike the otehr size zero actresses, she can actually ACT!

B'wood seriously needs to get over this fixation of having skinny actresses!! iT doesnt happen in othr film industries.....the south doesnt have this fixation n nor does H'wood!

Losing a little weight ain't such a bad idea, guys... keeping yourself fit is also good for yourself.

And what quite gives you the idea that being "thin" compulsorily means being "fit"...And anyways,Vidya isn't obese,she's just not skinny....All skinny people arent consequently fit

i think shes fine as she is

Very well put. Even I don't understand this obsession with heroines looking like a stick bones to look glamorous. Vidya really looks fine as she is!

breathing_irony, i really agree with your post!👏👏 esp the last part where you mentioned the south & hollywood. kollywood for example has got a gem of an actress named jothika. she isn't at all a stick thin willow.

vidya is one of the most talented & beautiful actresses in bollywood. instead of looking at all her wonderful plus points like her gorgeous eyes, million dollar smile or charismatic classic indian face, they focus on something really unneccessary like her weight or how 'heavy' she looks.😕 it's becoming more like a crime to be healthy or well-built in bollywood.

Very well put. Talent cannot be measured by the inches on your waist. Vidya has that classic beauty and her rising success has been down to her hardwork.
I'm also relieved to know that someone shares my thoughts on Ash's Dhoom 2 slim-down, where she did look anorexic. And the fact that she was being admired for that stickly figure was quite frankly frightening. What message is this portraying to our youths.

Everyone has their own body shape and being healthly is what matters not the exterior.

breathing_irony another well written response but i would beg to differ about this trend not being present in H'wood. There are many stars who are excessively weight-conscious e.g. La Lohan went from a curvy body to a stick figurine as did Nicole Richie etc. The whole fixation began in H'wood and has now influenced the glamour industry worldwide.

^^Kate Winslet is one of the best actresses arnd....she isnt exactly skinny! Even beyonce, who's regarded as one of the sexiest woman in h'wood, is not tht skinny. Renee Zelwagar is not skinny.......wht I'm tryin to say is tht in H'wood, if u really have the talent, no one will unnecessarily ask u to lose so much weight.
