Is THIN really IN? I think it is. As I've read on today's Newpaper, Kareena Kapoor is among the Bollywood star who's slipping into a size 0. There are a string of famous Bollywood heroines following suit. I think Bollywood has lost its essence. It's no longer the curvacious buxom women that we wanna see on screen. It's more of skimpy bikini and tight hot pants instead of a sack dress or traditional saree. A little bit more of flesh means they're fat. In the renaissance time, woman with extra flesh are seen as sexy and loved by men. Paintings often portrayed 'fat' women as it was beautiful. It's the other way round now. Who is to blame when kids start to starve themselves in school just to look like what they see on tv? My point is that the Bollywood are taking a step to be on par with their Western counterpart.

As contradicting as it may sound, I have to agree that thin is IN! Having a BMI of 19.3, I think I am fat! Many people has shut me off with my claim. Some even thought I'm anorexic! Like hello??? Do you need to get your eyes checked? But I begin to realise that what makes me 'fat' is my protruding hips. I have an Indian body frame I should say. Dietician Parul Chudhary claimed, 'Indian women must understand that no matter how flattering thin bodies of actresses and models may seem to be, their general body frame is not genetically designed to suit such a structure.' Well I guess I have to believe that quote and accept the fact that my Indian gene plays an important part on how my body frame has turned out to be. I'm happy with my body even though I still wanna look smaller than what I already am.
