'I'm proud of my sculpted body'
The new ultra-svelte Kareena Kapoor is hogging the limelight for her dramatic weight loss for Tashan, and the actress says she is enjoying her toned physique.
Post Jab We Met, the Bollywood beauty has shed so much weight that there is a ceaseless spurt of speculative stories about her weight loss."People are saying I want to be like Victoria Beckham. I think the talk started when Saif (Ali Khan) got himself tattooed with my name. David (Beckham) had done the same for Victoria. But honestly, I'm proud of my sculpted body. It is a look that I needed for my new film Tashan," Kareena said. "But I haven't starved myself to look the way I'm looking these days. Why should I want to be like anyone else? I've done nothing drastic to myself. I do yoga religiously and I'm eating like any healthy girl, thank you."
She is amused by the numerous anorexic stories about her doing the rounds."It was written that I fainted on the sets because I've become weak. Utter rubbish! Have these people seen me in person? I look no different from the way I looked earlier. I guess I'm just happy in life and that shows. I haven't lost weight. I've just toned my physique, and that too for a role."
If Kareena is glowing, it isn't just love."I've right now entered the best phase of my career. 'Jab We Met' has for sure been a turning point."
Produced by Yash Raj Films, the ultra slick thriller Tashan is releasing Friday. Kareena teams up with boyfriend Saif Ali Khan in the movie, which also has Anil Kapoor and Akshay Kumar in pivotal roles. Commenting on Tashan, she said, "We've all worked really hard on the film. Let's hope it works. After Jab We Met another hit wouldn't hurt."
