| Siblings - Jiah and Aamir Khan By Webmaster, 6 May, 2008 |
 "I was just growing up and losing baby fat," insists Jiah Khan, coming out of her self-imposed exile. The grapevine insists Jiah Khan lost so much weight recently that Aamir Khan personally requested her to put on weight for their film together in Ghajini."I did want to be fitter. But I guess people in Bollywood don't like that look. Not that I was trying to be fashionably thin. But the kind of clothes that are now stepping into our film industry — very Milan, very Paris — you've to have a certain kind of lean physique. We're getting more and more into labels. But my characters in my two forthcoming films are very conventional. So I had to put on weight to play them. And I'm looking… balanced!" Jiah admits weight has been a problem. "I had always been plump. I started exercising since 16. Then there was a lot of pressure in the film industry to lose weight, and it did get to me. Every actress feels there's a little too much fat, no matter how thin she is. But I'm now mature enough to know what's good for my health." Aamir, who toned himself for Ghajini, asked Jiah to put on weight. "Yes, he did. And when people see us together, they're going to be like, 'Wow!'" What about rumours that Jiah and Aamir spend a lot of time together on the sets? "What?! I thought there was a rumour that I was his sister. Socially, I've met him twice. Once for the audition and again recently to discuss my clothes. I don't know him that well. As far as my look and character in Ghajini is concerned, Aamir looks into every detail. Which is nice. It isn't interference at all when the suggestions come from someone like Aamir Khan. He can only make the project better." http://filmicafe.com/news_detail.php?news_id=5876 |
